Re:Show HN: GoodPods – Goodreads for Podcasts on Sunday March 01, 2020 @12:37PM (#22457951)
I'm back after posting TinyPress here 4ish years ago. Thanks for the feedback on that project, really was amazing.

## What to check out on Goodpods:

- Check out the awesome search page!

- Check out the library feature and ability to see description for podcasts quickly

- Check out profile page

## A few notes:

- MOBILE NOT SUPPORTED. THIS ALPHA INCLUDES DESKTOP VERSION OF WEB APP. SORRY :(

- It's on the $7/month heroku hosting for now. And images aren't cached locally - so give the pages a few seconds to load please.

- The search page specifically needs a few seconds to load.

- This is early early alpha (v0.5), releases are rolling out daily to update UI & functionality.

- There will be more GoodReads functionality coming. I have a full social posting and networking feature set that is 100% done and tested, just not quite where I'd like it somehow, so I turned that off in the app for now. At this point the app is all about discovering podcasts and maintaining your library.

- Also please note most things on the site are temp - not final - including the logo and name of the site itself.

I'll be gone for most of the day traveling, but lmk how I can improve this. I'm SUPER interested in feedback and constructive criticism.

Thanks all. Dain

Aah Aaron. Thanks. Everywhere he codes he refactors, fixes performance issues, finds bugs, he's so my hero.

Yep! It was indeed. That was using one of the 5 themes, "Hyde".

Yep. A verry rough v1 of this has been in the works for quite some time, with a few friends of mine. But they have all moved on to other projects and this is now my baby. Also, this is a completely overhauled version - hence today's HN post.

Really interesting. I had no idea about this. I'm definitely going to dig into it, thanks mate.

I've never heard of this. It's pretty clever, I'll see about utilizing this.

I know it can be confusing. I'm going to make a better gif on the landing page to help explain the entire process from start to finish.

Gorgeous landing page. Really quite well done mate.

You're absolutely right. Even me being the creator of this the one vibe I get when using the product is "well this is not very intuitive". I'm going to be optimizing for that over the next few weeks. Thanks for the gut check.
