@sws We're picking up roughly 60-100 feeds per day right now through partners feeding us. I feel good about that.

uMatrix's repository has been archived and development has been discontinued:

RSS & own poddex (PODcast inDEX) namespace @dave @Todd_Blubrry

Does somebody know how Apple reacts if the RSS feed contains non iTunes tags (different namespace) like the donation link tag (rawvoice/rel=payment)?

@jamescridland do you know a size ranking of podcast host companies?

If a majority of podcast hosting companies would agree to put new tags in the RSS we could get a better language tag, donation, transcript, country of origin, ...

Maybe even Apple, Google, Spotify start using it

@dave @sws country of origin would make a really cool visual for the stats page

@sws @Todd_Blubrry Hey Todd, does Blubrry capture country of origin for podcasts or just language? If so, is it a part of the intake form/process?

@adam example of censorship as mentioned on podcast

@dave @adam

Dave,

here is a working example written in Go by myself and tested on Linux:

https://github.com/ComicStrip/Go-podcastindex-org-example .

Feel free to clone it!

It works.

In about an hour, Captivate will become (the first?) podcast host to directly have an "add this podcast to The Podcast Index" option in its distribution options.

(I'm an advisor for the company)

Indeed... https://www.captivate.fm/news/podcastindex-how-to-get-listed/ looks nice!

New org for all the example code forks: https://github.com/Podcastindex-org-Examples

For those that needed CORS enabled for their apps to work, you should be good to go now.

Somebody help me add CORS to this nginx config: https://github.com/Podcastindex-org/frontend/blob/master/nginx.conf

It's kicking my ass for some reason.

Maybe off-topic but since AWS came up several times in episode #2:

BTW, there was a 6-7 hour long big-tech anti-trust hearing in July ... they talk about AWS in this snippet:

@whiteguiltatonement I say “right now” because I’m seriously considering splitting the API into two spheres. An API for developers interacting with the index (like submitting new feeds and bigger queries) and a second, more simple non-API for static feed info. I’ll flesh this out more as soon as I can get it documented.

You web design guys have fun making it beautiful. 😃

Image resizing:

I've posted working example code of how this would work in a new repository here: (https://github.com/Podcastindex-org/imagine)

I have a minio server running at images.podcastindex.org serving the content. Give me feedback on this if you can. We already had existing image resize and object storage code in FC that I was able to airdrop in.

Other trusted parties could also rclone our minio server and run a copy themselves for failover and load distribution. Very cacheable.
