A KEXP native macOS app
One of my favorite ways to find and discover music these days is the radio station KEXP. It’s a public, independent radio station in Seattle where I grew up and they have DJs doing awesome shows all day and night. They play a ton of great music. They have an official iOS app, but don’t have an official MacOS app or anything. I wrote myself an unofficial one that sits in the menubar though and displays current song info and has a few nice features around pause behavior/stream resumption and airplay. I borrowed a bunch of the logos/assets from the iOS app. I’d love beta testers and any feedback people have!
