Radio New Zealand schedules on iPhone
A few weeks ago, Radio New Zealand kindly released their schedule data under a Creative Commons licence. This has allowed me to hack together a simple project that reformats their timetable into an iPhone friendly site.
To see it in action, visit http://radionz.resultpath.com/. It looks best in Mobile Safari, but should be understandable in other browsers. Currently it only works for Radio NZ National, and only for the current day. Next I aim to add support for RNZ Concert and the ability to browse other days.
It’s running on Google App Engine, which is fantastic for these sort of scratch-an-itch projects. I write a small Python script, and Google does the rest. I’ve also put the code on Github. Many thanks to Richard for help with bootstrapping the project with CSS/Javascript.
