Holt Soundboard

A soundboard for all characters from the show Brooklyn Nine-Nine

This was my first successful web and mobile app, that enabled me to learn all of what it takes to publish on the Play Store and App Store.

Why I created it

Brooklyn Nine-Nine has always been my favorite show, and I was interested in an app one of the characters created.

I tried the existing “Holt Soundboard” apps, but all of them fell short of my expectations. I decided to learn web and app development to try and make my own. It indeed turned out quite well, garnering over 12,000 installs in the Play Store.

Technologies used

Nuxt was for the website. Nuxt is a framework for Vue, making it more suitable for larger applications which require features such as search-engine optimization.

I chose Flutter for the mobile app for its ease of use, great developer experience, and platform-agnostic development. I was able to release the app for iOS and Android with minimal effort.

Current status

I realized later that the soundbites are copyrighted from the production studio of the show, NBC. After carrying out further research, I found out that using the sounds in my app does not come under fair use. I decided to unpublish the app until I am able to secure permissions.
