Podverse Next-Gen:
Paired with @npub1yda…h4tz today on NG git practices, the new repo setup, and database schema.
A key difference between current Podverse and next-gen is we'll be trying to lean on Podcast Index API for data as much as possible. This should dramatically reduce the size and complexity of our podcast parsing infrastructure.
We'll still need to support "Add by RSS feed," but those can be handled separately.

Hey P2.0! Sorry I have been MIA for so long. After working on Podverse evenings and weekends for ~9 years, and never making a paycheck off it, I needed to take some time away, but it's back as my main focus, and I'm working on a totally new version of @npub1wma…5az9.
Everything will be rewritten from scratch, starting with the database and api. I'll be sharing brief updates here to document progress as I go. I hope 2024 is going well for everyone and GO PODCASTING!

PocketCasts is a great app, and if it works for you then perfect. I do want to say tho that their "open source" license afaik doesn't allow other ppl to deploy instances of their app, and they only share the front-end code of their app, but none of the back-end / data API services.
On the other hand, Podverse's entire tech stack is open source. These are nuances not everyone cares about, but just want to point out that not all "open source" is equal.
