I looked into making a communal radio towards the end of 2021. It seemed like liquidsoap was the best in this space, but I lost a lot of time due to other committments
this is a really nice article and i appreciate the youtube links, will definitely watch later. i was wondering if you planned on having a demo up and running soon or a repo to plug? sometime later this year i want to build a stream on my own personal site and am planning on building it with phoenix/elixir. it’s a rather complicated task but i like biking and would be interested in creating a client that i can stream and play my music on so that other’s can listen while i ride without getting copystruck + it seems like a fun side-project!
edit: i found the link! should’ve probably waited before sending this comment in but i was a little hyped to see someone building a similar project out in the open!
for sure, this sort of thing is exactly what excites me about the web!! i’m probably younger than a lot of the people on here but i think it’s probably the same feelings other generations talk about when they reminisce on the old web. it’s cool that even though there are tools out there for people to bootstrap projects like that instantly (i.e. twitch and yt) but building it yourself is part of the fun, in my opinion. i was mostly inspired by the creator of this site who has his own personal stream set up.
Brilliant website btw. Have been listening to it intermittently while at work. Much better than listening on youtube and watching the uBlock counter go up every second.

Thank you for the kind words! Sure thing: it’s up and running at http://lofi.limo/
Sounds like a cool project; hope you’ll share it here :)

I agree! This is the fun stuff. I love to pop open a beer and watch Joshua hack away on his old Mac. So mellow and relaxing…
Sorry but who is Joshua?
