I think it is doable, I mean, rewriting it for Web3 stacks. But why bother? It works as is.

I read the parent comment differently.

I believe the point is that Popcorn Time is/was a shining example of the decentralized web, to the point that it accomplished some of what “web3” claims it is trying to achieve (for a specific set of use cases), and therefore is “more web3 than crypto”.

Retooling on a “web3 stack” would be pointless, because it is already accomplishing its goal without that stack.
