After a bunch of tutorials, trial and error, and late nights, I finally hit deploy on my first proper full-stack app. I’m super excited but honestly a bit nervous to see how it holds up with actual traffic.
The project is called **Radaradio**.
Basically, I listen to a lot of random international stations and local morning shows, and I thought it would be a fun challenge to aggregate them into a single browser-based player. The main goal was to see if I could build a smooth Progressive Web App (PWA) experience where you just open a URL, hit play, and the audio keeps running perfectly in the background without needing to install anything from an App Store.
Since this is my first time putting something of this scale out there (indexing around 60,000 live stations), I’d love to get some real eyes on it to see what breaks. If you have a couple of minutes, it would be awesome if you could:
1. Try searching for a super niche local station from your hometown to see if the database catches it. 2. Test the audio player on your phone—does it actually keep playing when you lock your screen or switch tabs? (This was the trickiest part for me). 3. Let me know if the UI feels clunky or if anything is painfully slow.
