Hi all, I built a website to find podcast clips. Could you provide any feedback on how I can improve the site and market it?

Thanks! Mike

Thanks for the feedback! Great point, will add the radius option to my list.
Things With Kids ("TWKids") is a Search Engine for Kids Activities (http://twkids.app). I built this site to make it easier to find places to take my kids on the weekends.

For Tech Stack, I just used Plain PHP, Javascript, HTML, and CSS (No Frameworks). Hope other parents will find this site useful!

Re:Show HN: Recipe search engine, built in vanilla PHP on Friday May 06, 2022 @09:43PM (#31291439)
Hi there, thanks for the kind words! When I started to learn to code, I was overwhelmed with the amount of frameworks. I think I spent about a year just trying to decide which one to use. Then once I dived into the documentation & tutorials, I was also overwhelmed and confused on how things worked. At that point, I decided I'd rather just try to build something in a way I understand that's simple, then spend another year banging my head.

So I just used basic PHP to build each feature one by one. I wrote out the user flow: Register > Login > Post Recipe > View Feed > View Recipe > Search. Then just tackled them one day at a time. When I looked at existing user authentication systems, there were so many features/options that my head spun. Maybe Im naiive, but I didnt think I needed all of them. I just wanted to put an email + pw + username in a database. Then send an email(with randomly generated code) to activate the account. Then made a Login page with simple sql query to validate email + pw was correct. It seems too simple to work, but if there's any problems Ill just deal with it later. Im actually thinking of removing pw altogether and just going with magiclink.

Basically, what Im trying to say is, just make it the way it makes sense in your mind, in the simplest way. Otherwise, youll be waiting forever before you build something real. Just like everything else in life, things are overcomplicated. Were just making websites arent we? Whether its PHP or Ruby or JS or xyz framework, it all just spits out html. Hope this helps!

Also, how does copyright apply to social media sites. Like if someone posted the recipe on facebook or instagram.
Re:Show HN: Recipe search engine, built in vanilla PHP on Friday May 06, 2022 @07:56PM (#31290804)
I see, thanks for clarifying. Does that mean all recipe aggregators are likely violating copyright?
