Very cool - played around with it, and it seems quite featured, and my test podcast worked!
I really appreciate the local-first, self-contained but very portable architecture, with an optional server connection to handle CORS and index and whatnot; that's a really solid approach.
Hopefully this isn't too annoying, but I saw you open-sourced what looks like the backend, do you have any plans/interest to open-source the front end as well, for people who might want to self-host?
I'm sure your idea's great, but I was hoping for a regionally local-first podcast app when I clicked the link, e.g. something that would show me podcasts from near where I live.
Also personally I do not prefer to play podcasts with a podcast app. I just want it to download the files to a directory which I then sync with another audio player. Does your app make that workflow easy?
This is actually pretty amazing, definitely the most impressive pwa I've ever seen.
It took me about 3 minutes to add to my home screen, export a opml from pocket casts and import it to whatever.
Having offline downloads, ability to adjust playback speed etc is really cool too.
Nice work!
I'm on my phone now, so I'm curious to see how it looks on a browser. Obviously syncing of podcasts / listening positions is not going to work, by design?
The AI search is actually kind of cool for discovering podcasts too, I kind of rolled my eyes a bit when I read it, but it actually worked ok for a query I tried, and I do find it difficult to find new podcasts.
love how frictionless the site is, really good ux other devs should take note

Any plans to make an Electron or Tauri version?

Cool idea! I was playing with the app and I was curious why do some of the podcasts say "requires proxy" in red? Thanks!
I haven't tried it yet, but that's a great choice of name! Well done.

This is super cool and I love the idea of keeping the data and AI local.
First website in months that hasn't made me immediately angry with cookie popups and email list signup nonsense. I love it.
