Hi Ben, that would be great! I am indeed familiar with Podlove and I think there is a little bit of overlap. I don't personally control syndicated.media but can forward an email to the person who does - can you reach out to me on a pri

I am familiar with podlove, and the work on chapters in particular are interesting, but they face the exact problems I talked about in the post - they are mostly being designed in a vacuum. Apps are slow to add support for nonexistent data,

So, in the RSS spec, the <guid> tag is used to identify individual posts. Without some sort of identifier, it's hard to know if a user has e.g. already heard something in a feed (because new things can be added and old things can

I agree! RSS is kind of a magical thing, that's only really happened a few times - the widespread implementation of a standard that provides a better user experience at the cost of somewhat less control for content owners. My headline

Hi there! That's awesome. The short answer is, we're still figuring it out! Part of the approach we're taking is about letting us test things with real users against live feeds without bugging people every time we change our
