Sweet! does it support AirPlay, so I can use my Sonos speakers?
It does! I haven't personally taken it for a spin on Sonos but it should work without issue - just shout if not.
I'm Tahoe 26.5 beta 3, the UI won't load. Just goes straight to playing in the menu bar. neither clicking nor right-clicking invokes the player.
I've had this same issue. Tahoe 26.4.1 - love the idea of it.
Hey! We have a fix on TestFlight if you want to take that for a spin an see if it fixes things for you: https://testflight.apple.com/join/R9gDPZYc
Same (normal version) with the latest update of Sequoia (15.7.4 (24G517))...
New build live on the App Store should fix the issue! Holla if not.
Can I be featured on Poolsuite in the future? I’ve got a perfect release for it 🥺 Jokes aside, I’ve had the Mac app for a while, beautifully crafted, thank you for it!
Shoot me a link!
??!!
Let me look into this, we don't capture any Mac user contact info, and have no analytics/tracking stuff in there!
love the design
Glad you’re feeling it!
can I create my own radio channel for people to stream ?
That’s not currently an option unfortunately
I really like videos from the web version, please bring it to mac version! :)
We'll see what we can do ;)
u/martybell i have been using this app and website since the early days of Poolside. It helped me get through a significant portion of the COVID lockdown while I was working from home. I’m glad to see the updates. Keep up the great work.
This is really lovely to hear. Thanks for following along! If you have an Apple TV, that’s up next and is a really fun one 🌴
I've downloaded it but the UI doesn't show up?
i just love your app. I discovered it a year ago and had some really great moments letting it play as a radio during some summer days in the countryside. And there was even a pool involved. Great project i am recommending it all around!
That genuinely warms my heart. Thank you my friend. +100x leisure points for a pool being involved.
what makes the curation meaningfully different from just leaving a lofi playlist running on Spotify? is it mostly the vibe, or is the track selection actually hard to replicate elsewhere?
If you can't tell any difference between our playlists and a lofi playlist on Spotify, then I don't know what to tell ya. Very different genres on offer, curated by ear not algorithm. Every track hand picked.
I've been using it for years now and I've discovered so many talented artists through it... It's a great app also great job on the fantastic retro design, especially the webpage!
