01 · Overview
Project overview
Meme Tap is a meme soundboard. Visitors browse short sound clips by category, search for a specific sound, play it with one tap, and save, download or share their favourites without creating an account.
02 · Problem
Problem and objectives
Soundboard sites are often cluttered, slow on phones and difficult to search. People want to find a specific sound in seconds and play it immediately, especially on mobile.
- Make every sound playable with a single tap.
- Help visitors find sounds quickly through search, categories and trending lists.
- Allow saving and sharing without forcing sign-up.
03 · Role
My role and responsibilities
Frontend and full-stack development
- Responsive soundboard interface and large tap targets.
- Category, search, trending and random discovery flows.
- Favourites, download and share actions.
- Search-friendly pages, deployment and analytics.
04 · Approach
Technical approach
Meme Tap is built with Next.js and organised around discovery. The home page leads with search and categories, and each sound is a large button with favourite, download and share actions directly underneath.
05 · Decisions
Design and implementation decisions
Favourites without accounts
Favourites are saved on the visitor's own device, so people can start using the site immediately without a sign-up step.
Search and categories first
Search and a full row of categories sit at the top of the page, so most visitors reach the sound they want in one or two interactions.
Shareable sound pages
Individual sounds can be shared as links, which makes the content easy to pass on and discover through search engines.
Discovery modes
Trending, recently added, random and autoplay views give returning visitors new ways to explore the catalogue.
