I read 1-3 hours a day. Usually 1-2 hours reading on my Kindle before bed. Then another hour or so via audiobook while walking, doing chores, in the car etc...

But sometimes I will go through a slump, then see a book that really looks interesting and get into it.

Don't feel bad about starting a book and then not finishing it. Life's too short to read books you're not into.


Looks really good. Simple and clean UI. Nice work.


Thank you, really appreciate that!!


Love it! Are you using APIs to gather the data? Really love the look and feel. Good job.


Thanks for the the kind words, also in the midst of updating the website since its a bit outdated wrt to the app features now!

I'm using api-football[0], but its paid. Unfortunately, here's not much free sources available that provide the exact data i want + real-time data.

Wow cool that API has a ton of data. Anyway great job!

Allows you to listen to live online radio streams.

I wanted something with a minimal and fast UI and none of the other web apps I could find really fit my needs so I built this.

During work I like to listen to online radio so it seemed like a no brainier to make for myself and if others enjoy it to, even better.


9000 LOC is way too long for a pull request unless there is some very special circumstance.

I would ask them to break it up into smaller chunks.


Reading. I've never been a huge reader and mainly read non-fiction. I started listening to audiobooks while I walked and that got me interested in books more. Then got a Kindle and started reading more.

From there just got more and more into reading. For some reason I thought you could only read 1 book at a time but that's not true at all. I will have a few on the go at anytime. Just going to the library to sit and read is a nice break from everything. I have so many books I want to read now.


Have you tried paper books? For reasons I can’t explain, I found they made me read even more.


Yeah I have and I can manage them but I much prefer it on my Kindle. I like being able to control the font size.


What routine do you do? Is it same everyday?


Great job. The UI is clean and easy to use.

What were your biggest challenges while working on this?


Appreciate it. A lot of challenges, one of the most difficult that sticks out was building out the ability for users to track prices on a custom zone that they define (Sections 101+102, rows 1-4), and making it so that the price trend for this zone would show up retroactively (back to when the event went onsale), not just to "start tracking" prices in that zone once the user created it. There's a lot of cleaning of data that goes on for this, since different sellers might use slightly different section names for the same section, to ensure that you're including all the ticket listings that you should be.


I always like seeing new TUI tools, nice work!


Me too! I found a few nice ones in the App Showcase page in the Ratatui website: https://ratatui.rs/showcase/apps/

Makes it easy to search, favourite and listen to online radio streams.

I like to listen to online radio while working and none of the available web apps I could find hit the nail on the head, so decided to build my own.


I clicked on a few and couldn't get any to work, either just didn't play or gave me "Stream format or URL not supported."


Thanks for checking it out. I'm using a 3rd party API for all the station info (radio-browser.info) and sometimes the station streams result in that error. You may have just had some bad luck clicking on a few in a row that don't work. I'll try to think of a way to filter those broken ones out.
