The First Commercial Flutter App Makes Exclusive Hamilton Musical Content Accessible to All
We created and maintain the official Hamilton mobile app — the first app built with Flutter outside of Google — bringing exclusive content to fans on any device.
The Challenge
Hamilton: An American Musical wanted to create a mobile experience that gave fans equal access to exclusive content, no matter their device. The app needed to launch quickly, work seamlessly across iOS and Android, and deliver a wide range of features—from ticket lotteries to merchandise—without exceeding budget or timeline constraints.
Our Solution
Very Good Ventures built and continues to maintain the official Hamilton app—the first commercial app ever built with Flutter outside of Google. Using Flutter ensured fans had a consistent, feature-rich experience on both platforms, while also making development fast and cost-effective.
How We Did It
To bring Hamilton’s vision to life, we combined speed, innovation, and cutting-edge technology. Our team leveraged Flutter’s cross-platform capabilities and Firebase’s serverless infrastructure to build a scalable, engaging app in record time—all while providing a seamless and inclusive experience for fans. This included:
- Fast-Tracked Launch: We ensured a cross-platform launch in just three months with Flutter, shipping simultaneously on iOS and Android.
- Robust Feature Set: Our team delivered myriad features, including the daily ticket lottery, HamCam camera filters, news and updates, and an in-app merchandise store.
- New Platform Innovations: We pioneered early adoption of serverless infrastructure for mobile apps by building one of the first large-scale commercial apps entirely on Firebase and the Google Cloud Platform.
- Accessibility for All: Our experts designed with fans in mind, ensuring accessibility, performance, and consistency across all devices.
