Hey everyone!
I am so excited to announce that one of my own projects that is public facing is ready to show off on a showcase post!
@johnny and I had a random thought last Friday (Nov. 4th) to launch our own internet radio station. By Sunday, we had a MVP. Today, we have what is close to an end product. We want to do some content additions to the homepage, but overall, the design itself is done!
This was such a fun project, because it included me making my own plugin, custom API calls, setting up a VPS to run the back-end of the actual radio, and so much more.
From bubble, we successfully can:
-
Create, delete, and modify presenter accounts directly (Presenter accounts are how our live DJ’s connect to the server, hosted off site, but we built a management platform on Bubble so we don’t have to switch between 3 different sites to manage this.)
-
Setup Spotify’s search API to get the Spotify version of song’s playing, and thus able to allow users to click to play on spotify
-
Complete DJ Booking system, where our Presenters / DJs can book hour time slots
We still have a ways to go, and we are still working on it daily, but we are proud of the product so far!
Future plans:
- Work on better optimizing the scheduling / booking system
- Build out more content on the site, and more user interaction
- Pages for songs, where users can comment on songs, like them, dislike them, etc…
- Public profile pages
