🚀 I Built a Modern Live Radio App – RhythmiQ FM Hi devs 👋 I’m an indie developer and recently built a live radio streaming app called RhythmiQ FM , now available on the Play Store. This project started as a simple idea — to create a clean, smooth, and ad-free FM experience — but evolved into something much more. 🎯 Goal Most FM apps I used had: Too many ads Outdated UI Poor streaming experience So I decided to build something better: 👉 Modern UI 👉 Smooth playback 👉 No interruptions ⚙️ Tech Stack Flutter (UI + App logic) Online radio stream APIs (various sources) Audio streaming packages Chromecast / Casting support Android Auto integration ✨ Features 🎧 Live radio streaming (multiple languages) 🌍 Tamil, Hindi, English & more 📊 Playback history (recent & frequent) 🚗 Android Auto support 📡 Casting to TV / external devices 🎨 Modern premium UI design ❌ Minimal ads experience 🎨 UI Update (Latest Release) I recently pushed a new update focusing on UI/UX improvements: Redesigned home screen Improved playback controls Better layout for tablets Cleaner navigation experience 🧩 Challenges I Faced 1. Stream Reliability Different radio sources had inconsistent quality and downtime. 👉 Solution: Tested multiple stream URLs Implemented fallback handling 2. Performance Optimization Streaming + UI animations caused performance drops initially. 👉 Solution: Optimized rebuilds in Flutter Reduced unnecessary state updates 3. Casting Integration Making casting work across devices was tricky. 👉 Solution: Used stable casting plugins Tested across multiple devices (TV, Android Auto) 📈 What I Learned UI/UX matters more than features Stability > quantity of channels Feedback is everything for improvement 🔗 Try the App If you're interested, you can check it out: 👉 Search “RhythmiQ FM” on Play Store I’d really appreciate your feedback 🙏 💬 Feedback Welcome If you have suggestions or ideas, feel free to comment. Always open to improving 🚀
