Show HN: Podcast Discovery – find developer podcasts you are interested in
- timojo 11y agoPodcast Discovery is an alternative mechanism for finding developer podcasts and podcast episodes that you are interested in. Instead of going the subscription route, users can simply search for a topic, podcaster, keyword, technology or guest they are interested in and discover new podcasts and episodes in a clean, simple UI. There are hundreds of developer podcasts and thousands of episodes indexed by the site so chances are that in addition to finding what you are looking for, you'll also discover something new. Podcast Discovery is still in beta so fixes and other features such as better playback controls and a content based recommendation engine are in the works.
- charlieegan3 11y agoMight be interesting to have a clearer separation between episodes and podcasts. As well as this, some kind of related / similar podcast feature would be cool - if harder to get data for. Also, you might want to remove 'get' from your tags. It'd normally be considered a stop word.
- timojo 11y agoThanks for the feedback!!! I'm working on the recommendation feature, i just wanted to get an MVP out there first. Thanks for pointing out the 'get', I'll have that removed soon. As for the clearer separation between episodes and podcasts are you talking about in search results or the podcast page? I thought about doing so for search results but I ended up mixing the two because I thought it would help with the discoverability story of app. The idea is that you can perform a search and find both podcasts and episodes in one list and not have to navigate to another tab or area of the site.
