One thumb.
Three platforms.
Zero apps.

ShortFlix is a Progressive Web App — installable on iOS Safari, Android Chrome and desktop, with a service-worker cache so the curator's daily picks load even on the subway.

Surface: PWA · 9:16 native gestures
Stack: ADK orchestrator on Cloud Run · Gemini Flash for on-device-feel latency · MCP-tooled RapidAPI
Why mobile-first: 87% of short-form watch-time is on phone. PWA install removes app-store friction → demo judges install in 3 taps.
Cross-platform tag overlays the source (YT/IG/TT) so the user always knows where the magic came from.

For the 1-2 min demo video: judge taps "Install" on phone → home-screen icon appears → opens to today's curated dossier. No App Store. No TestFlight. Just web.

1. open shortflix.app on Safari/Chrome
2. tap "Add to Home Screen"
3. open the icon → curator's 9 picks ready (cached overnight)
→ this is the 30-second hook of the demo video.
