Show HN: For podcasters – build unlimited website from your RSS feed for free
- faustas 6y agoHey, I'm founder of Podsite, the headline probably sounds like a clickbait, but it's not. UNLIMITED - means unlimited traffic, unlimited storage space, unlimited episode pages. FOR FREE - means that you get ready to use, fully functional, website for your podcast absolutely for free and it's hosted in the cloud forever at no cost. WEBSITE FROM RSS - means that RSS feed url is enough for Podsite to build a minimum viable website. WHERE IS A CATCH? There is none. Well you will need to purchase a PREMIUM plan if you want to host your website under custom domain, or if you want to get custom design changes, or you are a podcast network, design agency, etc. and want to have multiple websites.
- jfengel 6y agoGiven that you're just doing a transform from the RSS format to HTML, it sounds like the amount of storage space is minimal, and the traffic not especially large. Yes? Still, it's large enough that you'll need to cover your costs with premium customers, and that's going to be a bit tricky: anybody with resources to cover the fees for serving up the actual audio won't have too much trouble ginning up a really basic web site. So aside from your loss leader, you're going to need to show a strong customizability without a huge effort on their part, and/or really great design services at a premium price.
