​Thank you for the post, @vennindoubt! We started working on Radiohere for the last one and a half months, soon after my wife Lakshmi discovered that listening to online music was still a pain. She used to get bored of her music lists really quickly and it was exhaustive and time consuming to wade through huge collections to build a curated list which would expire soon. Being 90's kids in India, the nostalgia of listening to radios was strong in us, and the serendipity of discovering something fresh was un-explainable. Working on a solution, we came up with Radiohere - a curated online radio destination for Indian music lovers. We focused on minimalism, beauty and function so much that the outcome is super intuitive and clean, giving an immersive experience. You almost forget that it's so smooth in the background. The keyboard controls are super smooth to navigate through the stations for a particular language in India. This is something so simple, yet unavailable in any other raw radio aggregation websites. We'd love to hear what the ProductHunt community thinks of Radiohere. Thank you once again!

@manikandanux Super news on the development of the product :)

Great site :). One suggestion is that it will be great if the player keeps playing even if we navigate like how soundcloud does. Love it!

@harish_annam That's some serious feedback. Will work on this in the coming update.

@harish_annam Yeah, sounds great! But the difference is that we don't know what we are going to play when it comes to navigating radios. In grooveshark / playlists we know. So wondering how much difference this makes. It would be great if we can get some kind of a metadata ticker about the current program / theme going on live on the radio stations saying, for example, "80's Bollywood songs" or "Hello Baengaluru with Danish Sait" and so on. But for this the api exposed by radio stations would have to support the metadata. Then the navigate and select becomes more useful, without changing the current station. It adds meaning to the ability to choose.
Harish Annam
@manuraveendran My point was totally different. When you go to a different page, the player stops playing. I was suggesting to make the player continue playing at the background without stopping. Try soundcloud. When you play a song and then click on other links and navigate, it doesn't stop that song, it will continue playing unless you select a second song

@harish_annam Ah, got it! I agree. Sorry about my unrelated rant! :)

Love the simplicity. But, any reason why the whole site is mono color? (Just red/white/gray)

Indeed, simple and impressive UI. Liked the next/back navigation over channels in mobile web. Better UX may be a differentiator among other aggregators. I wonder what is RadioHere's long term goal.

@muzzytree Something which started as a weekends hobby has come till here. Will ponder over next steps. Any ideas welcome :-)

@juhulmania, it's easy when you build a product intially to have a highly de-cluttered experience. But how are you going to manage when in the future when you 1. add more functionalities 2. put ads on, for e.g., for revenue.

@manuraveendran, thank you for asking this! Both these questions are relevant, and every creator goes through these inevitably. 1. We need to rethink the design ground up. Being simple radio stations, I think there would not be too much controls to be added. And even id there is the controls and functionality would have to evolve hand in hand with the users journey over a period of time. Like, take facebook, now there are so many options and features, but it's easier still to navigate through a maze. 2. Ads, is an optimization problem. There are two ways to do it. One, banner ads / google ads that don't interfere and is beautiful placed as in a premium magazine, and two, adio ads that interplay with the radio in some form, like rdio and others use to do. Either way, it's of prime importance that the usability and minimalism is thoroughly maintained.

@juhulmania sounds great! Wish you all the very best! And that this evolves into a great product! <3
