A dashboard to see what my local commercial free radio station (89.3 The Current) in Minnesota is playing. It shows how often tracks are played, track and artist play history as well as some other fun lookups and visualizations.

- bokchoi 5mo agoThis is cool! I was sad to see that kexplorer.org site no longer exists. :( I've been thinking about getting something like this up for a small Seattle station space101fm.org.
- clintmcmahon 5mo agoYeah, me too. KEXP has a public facing API that could be easily used to create a new KEXPlorer.
- roygbiv2 5mo agoVery interesting! How does it work?
- clintmcmahon 5mo agoThe main worker is a .Net API with Hangfire that hits a public facing API from the radio station. That data is stored in a MySQL database that feeds a React dashboard front end. There's some caching that happens behind the scenes to help with some of the large data crunching.
- roygbiv2 5mo agoAh the radio station has an api. I was thinking you were doing song matching or something, nope much simpler than that!
