So many stations, so little time. I discovered radio.garden a few years ago, and then so many amazing stations, sometimes hobbyist, sometimes around the world. Yes it's a bit buggy, but it's also the perfect ui. IIR, it started as a uni project but now attempting to monetize. People pay for algorithmic playlists over free and lovingly hand-picked, and I just don't get it. For me at least, it's not even close.

Very cool! I plan on using this with my oculus quest and the wander app. It uses google street view imagery in VR and I walk around cities around the world since I love travel so much but there was something missing and this was it! I’m going to Reykjavik tomorrow in the app and listening to Reykjavik radio at the same time.

For some reason this site redirects you to the insecure version (HTTP). So if you are using HTTPS everywhere, you will get stuck in a refresh loop.

See this snippet of code from an inline script in the page source:

    var isNative = /RadioGarden/i.test(window.navigator.userAgent);
    if (!isNative)
        if ("https:" === window.location.protocol) 
            window.location.protocol = "http:";
        else {
        ...
      }

Really bad coding on this site, it just put my tab on a infinite reload loop (configuration: Firefox, uBlock Origin, uMatrix, CleanURLs, and Cookie Auto Delete blocking all third parties).

Oh, thanks for the heads up!

I'm using HTTPS Everywhere too I just didn't even think it could be remotely responsible for the effect, so I didn't list in on my post.

I was wondering what was happening with it. I thought something had gone very wrong because of the traffic spike it got off going viral. Very strange thing to do.
