Giving a Facebook-first broadcaster a home of its own on the web.
TV Samadhi now has an owned website where years of broadcasts are searchable, the latest lives surface automatically, and a small team curates what visitors see, without re-uploading a single video.
Website and content platform for TV Samadhi (Samadhi Live), a Matara-based broadcaster streaming Sri Lankan cultural performances, music and community events to more than 11K Facebook followers. Its library catalogues over 3,000 lives, videos, reels and photos.

TV Samadhi grew on a personal Facebook profile in professional mode, which Facebook's API cannot read like a Page. The broadcaster still needed its lives, reels and videos on its own site, plus a blog and an admin a small team could run.
Best fit for creators, broadcasters, event channels and community media that grew on social platforms and now need an owned website, a searchable archive and an editorial workflow.
What this proves
The concrete capabilities this build delivers, taken from the shipped product.
Key capabilities
A broadcaster's home page
A branded hero, Latest Posts from Facebook, a drag-to-explore Moments archive and a 'watch us live' section that plays the current broadcast.
Social library without re-hosting
Only each post's link and type are stored. Facebook's embed player shows the picture, caption, counts and video, so nothing is copied or goes stale.
Automatic, with manual control
Webhooks add new posts and flag lives as they happen; editors can still add, hide, feature, reorder or remove anything by hand.
Editorial tools
A blog with SEO fields and image uploads to Cloudflare R2, About and Contact pages, and site settings the team edits itself.

Architecture summary
Next.js 16 site and admin
One codebase serves the public site and a role-protected admin, with GSAP and Lenis for the scroll-driven sections.
Link-first content model
Posts, videos, reels, photos and lives are typed links with visibility, feature and order flags, which keeps the database small and the embeds always current.
Secure admin access
Sessions signed with JOSE, passkeys via WebAuthn, rate-limited login attempts and an audit trail of admin actions.
Strategic thinking
Work with the account the client has, not the API access we wish it had.
Store links, not copies, so the site never drifts from Facebook.
Automate the routine, keep a manual override for everything.
Design for Sinhala-first content and mobile viewers.
