Could you build this?
Partial The UI and music player are simple to build, but streaming commercial music and podcasts without ads or fees typically relies on scraping platforms like YouTube or unofficial reverse-engineered APIs that constantly break.
What it would actually take: Such an app typically uses Flutter or React Native alongside server-side extractors or client-side scrapers (like yt-dlp, Invidious, or NewPipe APIs) to extract audio streams from public video hosts. Maintaining reliable scrapers against continuous anti-bot changes and YouTube stream obfuscation requires constant reverse engineering and proxy maintenance.
