How I Built StarBox IPTV: A Modern Streaming App with React.js and Vibe Coding

As a developer with years of experience building media and streaming platforms, I recently launched StarBox IPTV, a sleek, responsive IPTV web app designed for live channels, movies, and series. In this article, I’ll walk you through the technologies I used, why I chose them, and how I approached the development using a vibe-focused coding workflow in Trae.ai.

🔧 The Tech Stack Behind StarBox IPTV

Frontend: React.js with TypeScript
I chose React.js for its performance and component flexibility, and TypeScript for type safety and improved scalability. This combination gives me the confidence to write clean, reusable code that holds up well as the project grows.

UI Kit: ShadCN UI
ShadCN UI gave me a fast start with a polished design system, and I fully leveraged its support for dark and light modes to ensure great UX across all devices. The UI components are accessible, customizable, and extremely developer-friendly.

Editor: Trae.ai (Vibe Coding)
One of the most unique parts of this project was my use of Trae.ai, a next-gen editor powered by Claude 3.7 and GPT-4.1. I call it vibe coding — writing code in flow, assisted by intelligent suggestions and clean automation that lets me focus purely on logic and structure.

🌐 Why I Built It

After creating and selling multiple IPTV and media-based projects, I realized the market was missing a fast, beautifully designed IPTV platform that felt premium yet remained developer-friendly. StarBox IPTV is my response to that gap — combining performance, design, and ease of use.
