Radio Streaming Web App

01 May 2011

An experimental HTML5 Audio app developed with jPlayer, designed for iOS and mobile, and as a Facebook tab. Offers a simple, free, no-client-download option for playing audio streams - using open-source code. Developed as an attempt to avoid developing multiple native apps for different platforms (common to radio station streaming).

It leverages a few cutting-edge technologies, but also aims for some back-compatability. The player is controlled through JavaScript (+jQuery) and HTML5 Audio (with a Flash fallback), the animations and imagery are handled almost entirely with CSS3 properties, and some added functionality is offered through things like caching (HTML5 applicationCache) and a resizable, responsive design (media queries).
