The Listener

The Listener app lets users tune across radio frequencies and see the types of signals present—broadcast, voice, data, and amateur radio—along with clear explanations of how those signals travel and how ham operators use them. The project turns the radio spectrum into an interactive, educational experience. Built with v0 by Vercel, an AI-powered interface that generates UI components, frontend code, and full-stack applications using React, Tailwind CSS, and shadcn/ui.

Open Bands

Open Bands visualizes amateur radio activity in real time, showing how different frequency bands behave throughout the day and across the globe. By using motion, color, and abstract forms instead of call signs or logs, it helps newcomers understand that radio bands open and close, become noisy or quiet, and connect distant places through natural propagation.

Hamlib API Playground

App that serves to explain how modern software controls radio hardware. By presenting radio control through a clean, interactive web API, it shows that ham radio is not just analog equipment and knobs, but something programmable and accessible to developers. It helps bridge the gap between traditional radio and contemporary software culture. Created with v0 by Vercel.
