Hello Product Hunt community! 👋 I am the solo developer behind ArchiPlay, and I am incredibly excited to share it with you today. The Internet Archive (archive.org) is one of the greatest digital libraries on earth, housing millions of rare, public-domain audio files—from historical live concert tapes and old-time radio broadcasts to classic audiobooks. However, navigating this massive historical database seamlessly across different devices has always been a challenge. I built ArchiPlay to solve this. It’s a clean, high-contrast user-agent client built to function like a modern utility browser for open audio. While the iOS app is now officially live on the App Store, you don't have to wait to try it if you are on a desktop or an alternative device. You can use the exact same features right now via our live Web Player at https://archieplay.web.app/ — and for the Android community, the native app is officially on the way! From day one, my focus has been on a "privacy-first, local-first" philosophy across all platforms: • No Accounts Required: Just launch the web player or download the iOS app and start exploring immediately. • Local Device Storage: Your custom playlists, bookmarks, and liked tracks are saved strictly on your local device—no external servers tracking your tastes. • Pure Stream Pass-Through: The client makes direct, on-demand requests to public endpoints, acting as a neutral window for historical files. The entire frontend codebase is fully open-source and transparently auditable because I believe digital library tools should belong to the community. I’d love to hear your thoughts, feedback on the web or iOS UI/UX, or any feature requests you have as I continue to refine the application. What historical audio gems are you going to search for first? Thank you for checking out ArchiPlay! 🎧
