#62Amazing product!
I was curious to know their source of stations; the history ones are coming from: http://www.transnationalradio.org/database#Search - which they have mentioned on their page as well.
LIVE ones are streaming directly from the streaming websites, further searching in their code and looking the URLs it seems its shoutcast.com API its the same thing I used a decade back with winamp! but as they didn't mention it anywhere I am not sure.
The way they presented it with map, history is simply great.

#63Simply awesome. Ironically, I haven't had a radio in years and I don't own a car, but I found a local radio station I've never listened to before. The designer's website is a trip too[0]. [0] http://puckey.studio/
That real time typing reminds me of chatting via direct modem connection to your friends. It gives a slightly better awareness of the person's feelings. Instant messengers now don't seem to do that, I guess the latency on the global internet is too high.
That webpage is painful to see 'till the end. Too slow.

#64Developer here. We weren't exactly expecting this to become as popular as it did.. Just survived being #1 on Reddit – sheesh. It seems our non-profit Bing maps key was revoked.. Switched to Arcgis imagery instead for now. Too bad, the Bing imagery was really great.
Great app! One suggestion: add a volume control. It's far too loud even at minimum volume on my Macbook.
volume control works just fine on my macbook pro

I'm not seeing any volume control on the page, weird.
To be clear, of course my macbook volume control works, but even with that set at the minimum, the radio volume is punishingly loud (to these ears at least)

#66If you are into amateur radio, this [1] does something similar, allowing you to tune into amateur bands across the world in real time.

#67Awesome! Thanks for sharing.. Can I ask what tech have you used to develop this?

#68This is awesome! I'm a mobile developer and I built an app similar in concept for iPhone a few months ago (except mine is way less robust and has wayyy fewer stations). Good work guys! Link to the app I built RadioAtlas: https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/radioatlas-explore-world-thr...

Hey, amazing project! Surfed over Eastern world radio stations for about an hour. Didn't found any convenient way to report bug, but currently Georgia (country, not state) is shown as "Tbilisi, United States".

#70I just turned into an Australian DJ bitching about the fact that they get charged extra for online listeners, vs. over-the-air listeners.
