The Chillout App

The chillout logo

A modern web radio platform.

Created with React, TypeScript and Styled Components, this app features a responsive layout and a local Favorites collection which renders different components based on viewport width. The app enables users to swap between radios with ease and enjoy a personalized experience without having to leave the page.

Simply click on a radio and enjoy the music! Tune in to your groove.

You can also add this app to your home screen on any device:

  • On mobile, open in Chrome, click the three dots in the right corner and select Add to Home Screen.
  • On desktop, open in Chrome, click the three dots in the right corner, select More Tools and Create Shortcut.

Update

The app has been re-written from scratch with React and entirely custom CSS.

  • Improved perceived and actual performance
  • Added better mobile support layout improvements, including indicators for playing and selected radio, stream loading and initial page loading to prevent FOUC
  • Fixed a bug that caused the browser to continue downloading from the stream source after the user paused a radio. The app should no longer consume cellular data when not streaming and it should now always play fresh content
  • Added a local favorites collection, which can be customized from several places across the app
  • Added a link to active radio's website - if available
