Another Sinatra app: RadioPlaying.com 3

I made this last night and early this morning in about an hour and a half:

http://radioplaying.com/

I’ve been listening to Philadelphia’s Radio 104.5 of late. And since I can never remember song titles, I thought it was nice that they have a page on their web site that lists the last 10 songs played. Unfortunately, it’s not very mobile-friendly. So when I’m stuck in traffic, and want to check what just played, I can use this little site.

All it does is scrape their site with Net/HTTP and Hpricot and outputs the results in an extremely bare-bones version.

Andy likes it, too, and wants to add more stations so who knows what will become of this little app. But, for now, it’s a handy tool I’ll use myself.

    Thought about linking to the source from the site? Just exposting it might be enough for people that want other stations to start working on extensions.

    No, don't show the source. Add more stations. This thing will take off. You have a great url and a useful little app, don't take it lightly. You can make money off of this if you need it.
