Show HN: Lifeboat, a distributed YouTube radio

1 pointsby swimmadude66about 8 years ago
A couple years ago I made some of my first online friends in a radio station on grooveshark. When it got shut down, we scrambled to find each other and a new home. After a few false starts, I decided to make a new home for us.<p><a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;swimmadude66&#x2F;YTRadio" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;swimmadude66&#x2F;YTRadio</a> became that new home. Its just a simple MEAN (with mysql and Angular2) app, but its worked for us for a little bit. It was written to be distributed, with one &quot;room&quot; per instance, including its own self contained chat.<p>We have our own instance running at <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;lifeboatradio.com" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;lifeboatradio.com</a><p>Its still very much a work in progress, but I&#x27;d love some more feedback&#x2F;contributors!<p>P.S. The name &quot;Lifeboat&quot; came as a joke that this would keep us afloat until we found a real replacement for grooveshark. At this point, its kind of a lifeship, since we don&#x27;t do a lot of looking for other services anymore
