- **Bottom Navigation Bar:** Features buttons for Home, Shorts, a central Create (+) button, Subscriptions, and Library/Profile for quick access to essential sections.
- **Create (+) Button Options:** When the user clicks the plus icon, they can choose to create a Short, upload a video, go live, or post a story.
- **Shorts Section:** A dedicated area for vertical scrolling short videos, similar to YouTube Shorts, including like, comment, share, and subscribe options on the side.

## DESIGN SPECIFICATIONS
- **Visual Style:** Minimalist - Clean, simple design with plenty of white space, focusing on content and user experience.
