Koder Cine — Cinema Operations Product

  • Area: Workspace
  • Sector: Cinema
  • Path: suite/cine
  • Kind: B2B SaaS — cinema operations (ticketing, programming, concession) with planned consumer-facing app

Role in the stack

Koder Cine is the Workspace product slot for the cinema vertical. The vision is "the operating system for cinemas" covering three modes:

Mode Audience Status
B2B operations Independent cinema chains, micro-cinemas, festivals v1 — landing live, build pending
Consumer cinéfilo Customers of Cine-powered cinemas v2 — referenced as "coming" in landing
Personal cinema Solo cinéfilos with private collections v3+ — long-term vision

v1 entry-point is B2B operations: modern ticketing, multi-screen programming, concession/F&B point-of-sale, real-time operations dashboard. Brasil-first (Pix nativo, NFC-e, NFSe), targeting independent and mid-size chains (3-50 screens) underserved by Vista and other legacy systems.

Status

Design. Landing page live at products/horizontal/cine/site/index.html (deployed to s.forge as cine.koder.dev pending DNS). Product backend, mobile app, and desktop operator app not yet implemented.

History

Until 2026-04-23 the products/horizontal/cine/platform/ directory hosted the codec engine that became engines/kodec/. The migration freed the cine product slot for the actual Cinema product (this deep-dive). See engines/kodec.md for the codec engine deep-dive.
