The member side
Tiered membership with real community mechanics: feeds, chat rooms, direct messages, live broadcast chat during shows, events, and merch — installed to the home screen like a native app.
The Antihero Broadcast wanted their own platform — not a Patreon page, not a Discord server. Somewhere members could live that belonged to the network, on the network’s terms. So the studio built it. The app pulls broadcasts from every show in the Counter Culture network into one feed, members watch episodes in-app and discuss each one in a dedicated chat thread, and a live Discord bridge shows who’s active in the network’s server with one-tap join.

The audience sees a clean member experience. The production team gets the machinery: member management, broadcast controls, merch, events, scheduling, and moderation tooling — all built in-house.
What it actually runs on.
The platform pattern travels. A membership and training app built for a martial arts school — belt tracking, class scheduling, and student-coach communication on the same foundations.
Stripe handles subscriptions. Supabase runs the database behind hardened row-level-security policies. The Discord API handles presence sync, Resend covers transactional email, and the whole thing deploys on Vercel as a mobile-first PWA. The studio designed the brand, wrote the code, ran the security audit, and ships updates as the platform grows — live with paying members, still adding features.
The launch push around the app in one place — the Join The 99% campaign graphic, the Discord promotional banner driving the community bridge, and the platform promo board.
