Live concerts and musician merchandise sales from your FireTV.

Inspiration

Small and large musicians alike are struggling during the current COVID-19 pandemic. SoundBrowser is a FireTV platform for hosting online / from home concerts and selling merchandise directly through your TV. This app adds a new way for fans to engage with the content of local musicians while simultaneously supporting musicians through merchandise sales.

How we built it

• Took a base FireTV application and updated to accommodate videos of live music artists
• Added in logic to pull in merchandise information from a live API
• Powered by Square payments to collect and make purchases of items from your television set.

Challenges we ran into
