Elsewhere

You are not here. Live radio from someone else's now.

A Remix app that plays a real station on the air in another city, at the hour it is there. Stay sixty seconds and the city is stamped in your passport. A dry pixel-art clerk, the Keeper, keeps the desk. Streams are always free.

Run

npm install
cp .env.example .env    # see docs/ENVIRONMENT.md
npm run dev             # http://localhost:5173

npm test                # vitest
npm run typecheck
npm run lint

Local AI uses a Heuristics LiteLLM gateway (HEURISTICS_BASE_URL, HEURISTICS_API_KEY) running DeepSeek V4 Flash. Production uses Gemini 2.5 Flash. The Keeper's question box is off unless KEEPER_ASK_ENABLED=true. Radio Browser is the catalog; some streams fail, and the player retries then skips.

What you can do

• Land here, or pick Dawn, Midday, Dusk or Night, or type a place, a language or a mood. The home is a departures board of stations that are on the air right now, each with its local time.
• Open the Desk: your boarding pass, what is on air (never an invented title), postcards from the Keeper, next departures.
• Ask the Keeper about the place, the hour, the language. He says when it is from his own notebook and not the station.
• Open the Atlas for countries, and the Passport for stamps. Playback never stops.
• Send a ticket: a printed boarding pass with a real link preview. The friend lands on the same station.
• Night and Day rooms, and a quiet foliage light that follows the hour.
