Case Study · App Development + Subscriptions

DJ Nobody
Special.

Our own music brand, and the deepest build in this portfolio: a full web application with paid subscriptions, in-browser audio tools, and a native studio plugin.

CLIENT

DJ Nobody Special

Our own artist brand. We built it the way we build for clients, then went further and turned it into a working product business with real paying subscribers.

ENGAGEMENT

Full App Build + Subscriptions

The YOINK sampling app, a marketing and checkout site, and the account system that ties a paid subscription to app access.

OUTCOME

A Real, Working Product

Visitors land, subscribe through a branded checkout, and instantly unlock a full audio application, all running on affordable hosting.

The Challenge

The app itself is heavyweight: searching across tens of thousands of videos, chopping audio right in the browser, and a native plugin for music producers. That is the kind of scope that usually needs a whole development team.

And it all had to run reliably on modest shared hosting with real paying customers. No venture budget, no dedicated infrastructure.

Our Approach

We built the entire stack: a browser audio app powered by WebAssembly, a search index covering more than 80,000 videos, and a subscription website with a fully branded checkout flow.

A secure token bridge connects the two worlds: buy a subscription on the website and the app unlocks instantly. A native VST plugin brings the same tools into any music production software.

What We Delivered.

A complete product: application, platform, payments, and plugin.
