Im making an aggregate site for youtube mixes - house, lofi, ect.

https://ytradio.xyz/

It started with only live streams (24/7 youtube music channels)

I enjoy lofi youtube mixes when coding, and theres a lot of them.

Currently im adding functionality for users to curate the mixes

I think its cool bc its kind of like a shared youtube playlist for a particular niche, with nice ui, and soon with curation




Hey, I really like it!

I've wanted to build something similar but haven't gotten around to it.

Couple questions: What do the icons at the top of the page do? (The music note, rain drop, anchor, etc) I think they are some sort of filter but click them doesn't seem to do anything. A tooltip or quick note might help the user know what they are for.

would you consider adding soundcloud integration? I have a bunch of playlists/music that I can only find on soundcloud and want a way to integrate with youtube playlist for continuous play/mixed playlists.

are you open to outsider help? I've been looking for a project to help contribute to and really like what you have started. Wouldn't mind helping with some PRs if you are open to it.

Great work!


Hi:))

Thanks:)

So I just broke those this week with an update & some refactoring, but they are for soundscapes, like rain, ocean, cafe background noise ect. - still thinking about how to group things

You know, open sourcing with multiple devs is something I haven’t put much thought into - at least for this project. I will have to move around some configs and do some readme stuff but growing that collaboration muscle seems important. Ill let that stir in my head, its still my baby, but I don’t see any harm, so maybe in a little:)

Soundcloud is a great idea:) I didn’t think of that either! - probably bc I don’t use it enough. Im definitely going to look into that this weekend.

Thanks and I’m really glad u guys like it this made my day:)


If you decide to open source it, feel free to shoot me an email at protonimitate@protonmail.com would love to contribute.

In any case, I'll be keeping an eye on the project. Good luck!


I made something similar to this for iOS: http://sweetervibes.com/

However, because of Apple's new strict rules on what it considers user aggregated content, privacy, and etc. It's been stuck on beta for a while. I originally wanted to create a YouTube aggregator (like yours) however, I'm almost certain Apple will reject it.


Are you worried about the recently announced changes that YouTube will start showing more ads to people who only watch music videos? [1]

Not really ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ - personally i use adblock, and most of these mixes are 1-2 hours long, so even people having an add in between each would seem not too bad

Also i havent really put this site out there before, so any feedback or ideas are welcome:)


Hey this is really cool! I've specifically been looking for something like this. Thanks for making it!


Bookmarked! This is excellent, thank you.
