Built findmygp.ie after my girlfriend spent weeks ringing GPs to register, would love feedback.

Hi all,

My girlfriend had a really difficult time last year trying to register with a GP in Dublin and it took weeks of phone calls and emails to find her a GP that didn't have a long waiting list.

I built a website called FindMyGP.ie that basically tries to improve on the HSE's very basic list on their website.

If you were to call a GP practice and they say they aren't accepting new patients, you could vote on that practice's page on the website, to let others know not to bother calling them. And vice-versa, if somewhere is accepting new patients, let us all know!

Have only just finished putting it together so nearly every practice in the country (1490 of them) is currently marked as "Status Unknown", but as more people start to use it that will change.

Just want to put it out there as I'm sure plenty of people are going through the same thing, whether you're new to Ireland or just moved area.

It's at findmygp.ie — free, no sign-up needed

If anybody has any feedback for me on it too, am all ears!

Background Audio + Lock Screen Controls for Android: Native MediaSession integration with foreground service for meditation, podcast, audiobook, and music apps built in Unity

Hi all,

I made a plugin that adds proper Android background audio playback and lock screen media controls to Unity projects. Built using a native Java foreground service that bridges Unity with Android's MediaSession API and ExoPlayer.

Key features:

  • Audio continues when app is backgrounded or screen locks
  • Native lock screen controls (play/pause/skip/artwork)
  • Notification shade media controls
  • Handles Android audio focus properly
  • Compatible with Unity 6 and all render pipelines

Use cases: Meditation apps, podcast players, audiobook apps, music streaming, guided audio experiences, sleep/relaxation apps, language learning with audio

Technical implementation: Native Android foreground service with proper lifecycle management, MediaSession API integration, ExoPlayer for robust playback, C# wrapper for Unity communication

Asset Store: https://assetstore.unity.com/packages/tools/integration/background-audio-lock-screen-controls-for-android-370892

Happy to answer technical questions about the implementation!
