2 screens for the new radio browser functionality in Rigelian are nearing completion. First the main screen with a list of popular and highest rated stations, and second the search screen. The implementation of these screens is based on various new capabilities that were introduced in iOS 13: compositional layout for UICollectionView and diffable datasources. While there is some learning curve to this, the result is a much smoother user experience, and less code that is easier to maintain.

Integration work for radio browse has started. This is a community based directory of radio stations, whose contents is better and more reliable than Shoutcast. The first step is to create a library to access the radio browse api, once that is finished it will be integrated in the app. The library will use Swift Combine, therefor this functionality will work on iOS 13 and up.
