Show HN: Onda, an internet radio TUI with stream quality selection

Onda is a terminal-based internet radio application (TUI) that allows users to browse and listen to streams with quality selection options.

Background

- Onda is a Terminal User Interface (TUI) app for listening to internet radio — it runs entirely in the terminal/command line, not in a web browser or a graphical window. - Its key feature: users can pick from multiple stream quality levels (e.g., low/medium/high bitrate) for each station, which most internet radio apps don't offer. - The project was posted on Hacker News as a "Show HN" — a category where makers present their own side projects or new tools to the tech community for feedback. - Internet radio streams (like those from TuneIn, Radio Garden, or Shoutcast directories) have long been a niche interest among command-line enthusiasts; Onda is a modern addition to that tradition, written in Rust (a systems language popular for its performance and safety).
