If comments are to take off, there needs to be an easy way for a user to post a comment within the app. I don't care if this is decentralized or not.
I would love to see someone make an open source api server than any podcaster can host using Digital Ocean or any Shared Hosting site with good documentation on how to get and receive comments from the api. The api should be consistent across podcasts, but each podcaster has control of the comments hosted on their server.
If someone decides to make this (and it won't be me, I have way too many irons in the fire), they could easily monetize it by having an affiliate link to a shared hosting site or Digital Ocean and having easy to follow instructions on setting up ones own server using the code base.
