Hi all, I built a website to discover Podcast Clips: http://podfeed.app. Ive tried a ton of different marketing method (SEO, Reddit, Youtube, etc) but find it hard to get exposure. Can anyone share advice on how to market this site?

Thanks for your feedback. I'm not selling the shirt, just allowing Brands to post their links to that shirt along with the photo. I don't think Pinterest allows this level of granularity of filtering, so that's what I can offer.

Thanks, so I actually want normal people to post rather than models. In order to have a more natural feed of photos that covers every demographic.

Vanilla HTML + CSS + PHP + SQL. No Frameworks.

Thanks. My main value prop is to create a simple/clean site that allows anyone to filter down to people that look exactly like them & see links to their outfit. Just a more targeted way to shop by the person, rather than the product. Of course I need Fashion Brands to signup and regularly post photos. Eventually I want to have every demographic covered (ethnicity, age, height, weight).

Hi - I'm building a Fashion Search Engine called FashionFeed (http://fashionfeed.app). It's main purpose is to filter by clothing models that look like you (same Ethnicity, Age, Height, Weight).It's still a work in progress & I only have a few photos up. But can I receive your brutally honest feedback on the site please?Thanks.

What kind of novel problems do u mean?
Yeah would want to know this upfront. Feels misleading.

What do u think is the best login option with least friction? Google login, email link?

Thanks for the feedback! The samples are quite limited so understand what you mean. Eventually would like to have Brands signup and post Photos of all walks of life (every Ethnicity, Age, Gender, Height) including hackers! :)

Hi all - I'm building a Fashion Search Engine called FashionFeed (http://fashionfeed.app). I want to solve my own problem of not seeing clothing models that look like me on shopping sites. So I made a feed where you can filter by Ethnicity, Gender, Age, Height, Weight. If you see a photo you like, you can click into it and see the outfit product links.I feel like this may be a better way to...

Re:Show HN: Top Podcasts, Summarized by GPT Everyday on Thursday June 08, 2023 @02:22PM (#36246336)
Nice site. Curious, how did you select the list of podcasts from youtube?

Also, do you know if there's a way to source podcast chapters? Or if GPT can auto generate chapters with timestamps?

Makes it very difficult for new sites to get off the ground. My guess - due to massive amount of AI generated pages. Google must be slowing things down until they figure it out.

Is Anyone Else Having Indexing Issues with Google Search Console?

Hi all - I'm having issues getting my site (http://twkids.app) Indexed onto Google Search Console. I've submitted my Sitemaps over a month ago & also have all the same URL's as Internal Links from my homepage. However, not a single one of my Sitemap URL's has been indexed. It just says "Discovered - but not currently Indexed" & status is "Started", but no other explanation. The Google...

YES! I'm using PHP to build my Search Engine for Kids Activities (http://twkids.app) and its been great!

I love PHP as there's no other language that provides the same simplicity and immediacy of results. I tried learning multiple frameworks but it was just too overwhelming and complicated. With PHP, its very easy to just get started as you can mix it right into your html.

I just learned the basics on http://w3schools.com and just started working on my project (http://twkids.app) right away. I think the best way to learn is to just build something real. Then just Google your questions along the way.

Good Luck!

Ugh thats unfortunate. Heard it used to be a week to get thousands of pages indexed. At this rate it will take forever (60k pages). Maybe due to all the auto generated AI pages flooding in, Google is trying to slow things down?

Do you know if static pages (.html) would get indexed faster? Thinking of converting all my pages to static to see if any improvement.

Love it - awesome idea! Was also thinking of allowing businesses to post Events as well.

Thanks for the feedback. Fair point, I eventually want to expand Globally but just started with the US.

Absolutely - thank you for the kind words!

I'm a father of 2 young kids & I love building side projects. So about a year ago, started working on this site to solve my own problem, which was finding things to do with my kids on the weekends. When I searched on GoogleMaps & Yelp, it would only give me results by places. But I wanted to search all activities in a particular location (city, county). So in the searchbar, if you type in your zipcode/city/county - you can see all "Places" or "Photos" in that location. And then just filter down by Category (e.g. Indoor Playcenters, Swimming Pools, Parks, etc). I felt like this was a much cleaner & simpler experience to discover kids activities. Hopefully it's helpful to other parents out there as well. As for Tech Stack, I just built it with Plain Vanilla HTML + CSS + PHP + SQL.
