Fake Browser

This is a project I completed as a freelancer for a TV show production. The production team required a custom browser and several websites for filming purposes.

Browser

The browser is completely custom-built, and like the websites displayed within it, everything is built as Flutter applications. The reason for this approach is that network connectivity isn’t guaranteed on set. Setting up a network infrastructure for all devices, deploying a server for hosting websites, and installing custom HTTPS certificates on every machine would require significantly more effort than building a self-contained fake browser with integrated websites.

Picturegram

One of the websites I needed to build was a replica of Instagram. Creating custom applications like this avoids any copyright issues. Here’s a demo of the finished browser running Picturegram:

Flight Booking

Another application I developed for the project was a flight booking system:

Main Challenges

Film sets are fast-paced and often chaotic environments, so software solutions need to be as simple and reliable as possible to minimize potential failures. This sometimes means rebuilding existing functionality from scratch to ensure complete control and stability.
