Radiant is the hottest digital radio service with your digital host, Rad!Rad plays the soundtrack to your day along with updating you on events, weather, and even dad jokes.
Hey Product Hunt!
It's been a while since we launched Radiant here, and it's come a long way. In the new and improved Radiant 3.0, expect to see:
💅 Radiant has a fresh new look
🎟️ You can now discover concerts and gigs nearby
🎤 Refined the music discovery engine
🍎 Now on Apple Music
🎙️ A new personality for your AI DJ
We've spent a lot of time messing around and playing with Radiant, it's been a lot of fun, and we would love your feedback!
Just downloaded. Looks great!! Going to test it and give feedback. Been looking for something like this. Pandora doesn’t do it for me and neither does that discovery ai on Spotify
@aaronoleary Cool idea! Definitely will try! Always wonder if it is possible to connect the radio with my health app to get data about my mood or health condition to personalize the music for my day ?..
@aaronoleary@kate_rusalovich I actually built a startup around this idea around 10 years ago, the 2 don't actually correlate as much as you think they would!
Huge congratulations, Team Radiant 3.0 on this epic launch on Producthunt! Radiant sure sounds like a game changer in the digital radio space. I love the idea of being updated on events and weather with a slice of humor. One suggestion I'd consider, would be to maybe include a ‘mood selector’ feature, so Rad can tailor the soundtrack of the day based on user's feeling - could be a real hit. Keep up the brilliant work!
Radiant 3.0's performance enhancements are noteworthy! How does it manage large image files and resource-intensive design tasks without sacrificing speed?
@jan_zavesky We had Spotify support in v1 and v2, Spotify ripped off our idea (their DJ is available worldwide now if you want a less awesome alternative) and closed the door on native apps being able to stream from their service directly so we dropped them. Other services might be supported in future but Apple Music is a fantastic streaming option if you've not tried it already!
@patrickjmq I see, Spotify is everything but open. Their approach is quite annoying for developers, I experienced it myself. They got great catalogue and great app though. Which I guess is caused they don't give a f*** about anything else than their end users. (their end users = their money)
@jan_zavesky My understanding is that Spotify, whilst originally benefiting richly from 3rd party developers, have gotten to a stage where 3rd party apps are a drain on their business model. Spotify tightly control what they play for you prioritising songs that have reduced royalties or that they're being paid to promote.
Developers prioritising the best song selection and the best experience for the listener runs contrary to this.
It's a shame but I think it's time we all move on a find a better way to stream music!
