Realizing that all you need is listen to RSS feeds and play audio files, I made a static html/js page that manages your podcast subscriptions and episodes.
I leveraged browser and OS capabilities as much as possible, the actual playback is not done in this site, nor does it track any status -- this is all done automatically and better by the browser or OS.
The brunt is vibed in a handful of prompts on DuckAI, driving back home from holiday (in the passanger seat). Now I spent as much time fiddeling with the background colors as I did making the whole thing, I deemed it time to publish.
Features:
- subscribe to podcasts with links to their rss
- export subscriptions to (or mass subscribe from) a comma separated list
- refresh episodes by refreshing the page
- read episode and podcast descriptions by clicking on their row
- click to play or download audio, your browser will handle it
- keep track of listen status with blue-vistited-links
Implementation:
- HTML for structuring the information
- javascript for subscribing to feeds and fetching the episodes
- LocalStorage for persistence between sessions
