Our station operators choose AzuraCast over our commercial competitors for several reasons:
1) It's free: You can use it commercially or for hobby projects with no ongoing fees (though donations always help).
2) It's open-source: No obfuscated code you can't inspect. You can see how we do everything and build upon it yourself.
3) It's accessible: We strive to make our software inclusive to everyone and accessible to the visually impaired or others using screen readers.
Our core maintainer team is extremely small, so we need all the help we can get!
We need translators: https://docs.azuracast.com/en/user-guide/translation
And developers: https://docs.azuracast.com/en/developers/getting-started
And, if you want to help the project succeed and be sustainable, donors: https://docs.azuracast.com/en/contribute/donate
