Hamilton is one of the most talked-about in best loved musicals with shows on Broadway in London and around the country we wanted something to make the show more accessible for our fans so we wanted to develop an app to meet the needs of fans as we started to expand the brand we turn to a posse a new york-based development firm to help us develop the hennepin app Hamilton's flutter app launched in the App Store on the Play Store three months after we wrote our first line of code and we accomplished a time fans can enter
a daily lottery for a shot of $10.00 tickets buy merchandise through the e-commerce experience take selfie photos with the ham cam and get daily news updates we knew that this app needs to be rock-solid but with in terms of performance and visual fidelity and really represent the amazing experience at the Hamilton show itself provides and ultimately that's why we decided to use flutter flutter is a mobile UI toolkit that allows developers and designers to craft beautiful native experiences on ios and android and is entirely free and open source we have very high expectations of quality
for the apps that we build we expect pixel perfect results and we need them to be very high performance flutter gave us a lot of opportunities that previously weren't available to us the fact that it's a single codebase drastically improved our ability to deliver consistent experience across the platforms it's hot reload gives us an ability to build more features in less time it allowed me to make changes really fast and iterate through the UI without having to stop and restart the app coming from an iOS and Android background it's something I've been waiting for for
a long time the flutter developer community is very active dropping packages helped us maximize productivity it helped us integrate elements firebase and cloud the end of the day we're just really happy that we found flutter so that we can build these beautiful native interfaces for both iOS and Android from a single codebase we were given a really tight timeline and we turn the app around faster than I ever could have imagined we're able to make changes right up to the night before we went live and really feel confident about them in fact we push an
entirely new feature to the App Store the day before we launched and since launch flutters efficiency and speed has helped us to build new features such as the recent trivia game we're really excited because as the show continues to grow we're going to be able to keep pace with a ton of new features that's gonna make that even better we couldn't be more thrilled with flutter it has enabled us to use one code base to deliver a truly high-quality app that Hamilton fans have absolutely fallen in love with we're thrilled with what Posse was able
to deliver the entire brand of Hamilton is about delivering on an experience for fans they're thrilled about the new features that were rolling out and we're really excited to see where the app goes next you
