I miss not being online 24/7.
Next time, first look how well the competition is doing before coding up the same thing.
As for why vertical tabs are not popular: for me it's because it is annoyingly similar, and right next to, the navigation pane of the website I'm looking at. This leads to clicks on the wrong "navigation pane".
What is your unique selling point? What does HqRadio bring that the many other station streaming apps and websites don't?
There was a time when web browsing was crazy slow and expensive, but there were e-mail services that were also crazy slow, but free.
There were mail to web gateways that you could e-mail a URL to, which would then reply with the contents of the web page. You'd then send another URL from that page, and get another reply, and so on. Free slow-motion web browsing.
I say "slow-motion" because this was back when getting a response to an e-mail took hours or days, not seconds. So you were lucky to get through three or four links in a day. But it was free, and we had other things to do than surf the web anyway.
The main purpose of the app is allowing team members to search through the entire company knowledgebase
E.g. one can search through Jira to find all open tickets relating to a particular feature
Or, you can search through slack to find threads relating to a topic of your choice
Show how it would work in practice, show how it is better than normal Jira search. Show why I should use your project instead of the many, many others?
