Who makes it
Soda Screen is made by Ben Pattison Creative, a graphic designer in South Yorkshire who wanted his own film collection to look as good as a streaming service. It's designed first and built second, which is why everything, down to the title bar, can be restyled with a few lines of CSS.
The Soda Screen character
Soda Screen has a character of its own, designed and animated from scratch. It shows up around the app: in the top bar, when your library is empty, when a search finds nothing and while pages load. Like everything else here, it's original.
Supporting Soda Screen
The app is free and there's nothing to buy inside it. If you'd like to help with the running costs, you'll soon be able to get a T-shirt of the Soda Screen character here. Telling a friend helps just as much.
