Show HN: I built an HTML5 RTL-SDR application

it's a chrome application not an html5 one. It only works on one browser (and its forks) because it uses proprietary, nonstandard apis.

nit: The WebUSB API isn't really a part of "HTML 5"

`<radio-receiver></radio-receiver>` let's get that in html6!

Nice use of web components!

I wish Firefox would implement this API too, it's been years.

Awesome! There's so much you can do with the browser now. Thanks for making an SDR app that's "gone native."

I'm unable to get it to work with my receiver (setRegBuffer failed block=0x600 reg=74, Caused By: RadioError.UsbTransferError: USB write failed value=0x74 index=0x610 status=stall), but I love the idea!

Looking forward to a local webusb+rtlsdr based Flightradar.

This is awesome, great work! Is there anywhere I can follow development on this? I'm really interested in seeing this evolve.

Do you plan on expanding the functionality?

It is really amazing how flawless it work. You should do a blog post describing how you did it.

Awesome! On mobile now but intend to try it with my HackRF later. Anything to consider, or should work fine?

What's the benefit in using a browser for this?
