podcast-namespace

This gives me some motivation to look at the podcast:location tag, which I think unlocks this use case. https://github.com/Podcastindex-org/podcast-namespace/blob/m...

I named it Digilore, available here: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/digilore/id6633130387 This app searches the Podcast Index https://podcastindex.org/ that's uncensored. Apple podcast search, what most apps use, removes 3 or 4 podcasts a day, according to the Podcast Index. Digilore also supports their new RSS tags such as for transcripts and live episodes. The namespace spec is here: https://github.com/Podcastindex-org/podcast-namespace Digilore works on MacOS and iOS and will soon support Android. I've been a backend Java services developer for 15 years and recently ventured out into mobile apps. It is written using the Flutter SDK (Dart language) which is cross platform (iOS/Android/Mac/Win/Web). It's been a joy to use Flutter, and I highly recommend it. Granted, it's a Google product, so some people might be skeptical of it. I am not

How are you identifying location? Are you using the Podcasting 2.0 geolocation tags? For those curious: https://github.com/Podcastindex-org/podcast-namespace/blob/m...

I mentioned this in another comment, but I think it bears repeating since you mentioned "FAIK, podcast owner often provide show notes, not the whole text version for their show." -- take a look at the podcasting 2.0 specs, they absolutely do provide transcripts to whole shows. It's an open source standard which includes transcripts, chapter art, and a bunch of other added functionality which is being driven by Adam Currey, who is known for the original creation of podcasting, was an MTV VJ who ran mtv.com before MTV realized there was value there, and now hosts the No Agenda podcast. I have a feeling you will find some value in the standards, given that the transcript format/metadata is already established. https://github.com/Podcastindex-org/podcast-namespace/tree/m... https://podnews.net/podcast/i4ji5

I am guessing you are already on top of this, but just in case I wanted to suggest that you aim for Podcasting 2.0 compatibility: https://podnews.net/podcast/i4ji5 https://github.com/Podcastindex-org/podcast-namespace/blob/m... https://podcastindex.org/ Also I tried searching for my top 5 podcasts, and none of them came up which was disappointing. Neat idea though.

In podcasting this is already a thing, with Podcasting 2.0 [0]. One uses the bitcoin lightning network to send BTC, either with a message (a boost) or you can stream them back as you listen. Podcasting 2.0 has many more interesting features, like chapters, transcripts, LIT (Live Item Tag, your podcast app will show a label when a show is live). Good stuff imho, empowering for independent content creators. I bet it will come to software creators. [0] https://github.com/Podcastindex-org/podcast-namespace/blob/m...

Documentation on the <podcast:transcript> tag is here: https://github.com/Podcastindex-org/podcast-namespace/blob/m... To see which apps currently support which Podcasting 2.0 features: https://podcastindex.org/apps (some of the apps are web apps not all that dissimilar to yours)

ActivityPub is Web native, open, modern (JSON-LD), and widely implemented. JSON-LD versus hacky JSON was critical, because it encourages better designs for extensions. And efforts at extending ActivtyPub and ActivityStreams are well under way.[1][2] [1] https://github.com/Podcastindex-org/podcast-namespace/blob/m... [2] https://minipub.dev/

With podcasts at least there's a solid effort behind this with the podcast namespace (https://github.com/Podcastindex-org/podcast-namespace) - unfortunately there's very little uptake on the player side.

I would be really nice if FeedBurner added support for things like inserting podcast namespace tags that are part of the Podcasting 2.0 initiative rather so I don't need to change podcast hosting providers in order to start adding things like the value tag. https://github.com/Podcastindex-org/podcast-namespace/blob/m...
