Project case study
NZ Live Radio Case Study
An independent directory experiment for exploring New Zealand radio stations, shows, and sources, with careful ownership disclaimers and transparent project history.
Project snapshot
A directory UI with source links and boundaries
NZ Live Radio is a small static website that helps users browse station listings, jump to broadcaster sources, and keep stream/source notes together. It is positioned as an independent experiment and does not claim ownership of station names, programmes, or streams.

Directory problem
Make discovery and verification easier
Simple directory tools are useful portfolio evidence because they combine data structure, interface design, and careful boundaries. The emphasis here is: link to sources, make the UI predictable, and keep claims conservative.
Source-first navigation
Listing pages focus on linking out to broadcaster sources rather than copying content.
Operational hygiene
Stream and link reports keep basic health checks visible without overstating accuracy guarantees.
Technical signals
What the project demonstrates
NZ Live Radio is a light-weight static deployment that highlights interface clarity, low-friction tooling, and the discipline of keeping directory-style claims inside what the page can prove.
Static site delivery
Fast source archive delivery with transparent source archive history and reproducible build-free hosting.
Data-first UI
Directory-style interaction: lists, filters, and clear routes back to original sources.
Project history integrity
The historical source archive previously hosted NZ Change Map. Archived project notes remain available separately.
