I listen to online radio all the time while working, but none of the web based apps I found fit my needs.

So I built RadioPuppy.com - https://radiopuppy.com

It’s a lightweight web app that lets you quickly search thousands of online streaming radio stations and save your favourites.

I’m using the excellent https://www.radio-browser.info API as the data source for stations.

The tech stack is: Laravel 12, Inertia.js, React, Redis, and PostgreSQL.

Future features I am thinking of...

- Let users upload their own stream URLs, so if something isn’t available via the API, they can still save and listen to it. - Plot stations on a map to browse by location. - Play History: Keep track of stations you’ve listened to,

Would love any constructive feedback, thanks!

Nice work — the UI feels refreshingly minimal, and using the Radio Browser API was a smart move. I’ve been exploring similar ideas around lightweight streaming and playback optimization while working on InatBixindir , and it’s great to see someone keeping things lean instead of overengineering the experience. Curious to see how you’ll handle custom stream uploads — that could open up some really creative use cases.

Thanks! A lot of this project has been to scratch my own itch and the custom stream uploads will be as well. Stay tuned, will hopefully have that implemented shortly.
