Haha just saw Upsala has been gone for a couple decades, but I suppose it's fine as long as there's a college I can associate it with. Added to the app :)
Yep, getting a bunch of comments about the station selection UI (also I can tell from the engagement stats that not a ton of people are successfully swapping out stations). I'm gonna think about how to make this more intuitive in the coming days. Thanks for the feedback!
I started with like 10 stations and then added them as people requested them. Got a ton of requests when I posted this on Reddit a while ago. Lmk if there are any stations you'd like to see on here!
Sounds like I need to work on the UI for switching stations!
The search results let you add new stations to a queue, but they're not playable until you press "Reload Stations" on the modal—which isn't obvious or intuitive. At the very least I can add some instructions for loading new stations.
I've also explored adding a drag and drop interface, but that's a little trickier than search (technically and design-wise). Will need to think more about it. Thanks for the feedback!
First four-ish were my favorites when I was building this, and the rest were pretty arbitrary (though I favored streams that were more reliable on more platforms). I actually like WERS better than WHRB; will switch them on the next push :)
It has University of Cologne and a bunch of Canadian stations! Are there any other international college stations you'd like to see on it? I've mostly been adding stations from user requests, and most of them have been in the US.
Totally! I made this because I used to spend a ton of time at my college radio station, and whenever I would visit other colleges, I made sure to check out their student radio if they had one. The programming is always so unique and offbeat, probably because it's mostly just students DJing for fun.
It's been a blast building this—I've been able to spend a ton of time listening to college radio, and also sharpen my front end skills. Looking for jobs/contracts now if anyone is hiring :)
