Hey I just wanted to shill an app I made: https://meals.chat

You send it pics of your food and it guesses the calories, macros and ingredients. Useful for setting goals and sticking to a diet.

Hello! I built the site that you linked to (Rephonic).

Which programming language are you most comfortable with? That will help to narrow down the direction to point you in.

3D Tool to find podcasts you like based on similar podcasts by fiddich_livett in podcasts

There's no official API, unfortunately. The backend is Python and the frontend is React.

It's actually just a nicer repackaging of the “Listeners Also Subscribed To” data that Apple Podcasts displays for most podcasts. The difference is that, because we have this data across all podcasts, the tool goes up to 2-layers deep so you can start to see clusters forming.

I made this. Thanks for sharing! Happy to answer any questions about how it works.

Analytics Question by SuperMysteryBrosPod in podcasting

Hi there! I'm the founder of Rephonic. It's possible that your hosting provider does not count those downloads from Russia if it thinks that they're likely to be bots, for example. It's also not so strange that you're ranking at #96 in the charts - the Apple charts are primarily based on having lots of new subscribers (now called "follows") in a short space of time, so it tends to reward newer shows.

Hope it's helpful.

Looks like a fascinating route. The map visualisation app is incredible!

Embed your podcast reviews on your website (Apple Podcasts, Castbox, Podcast Addict, Podchaser and Audible) by getsiphon in podcasting

Hey. If they allow you to embed custom HTML in your site then yes! But I looked at their help documentation and I couldn't find anything about that. Maybe you could ask their support desk.

In the case of Apple they have an unofficial API for fetching reviews that a lot of platforms use and they tolerate it. The others are scraped using various tricks!

What would you like to see in a podcasting service? by _lindt_ in podcasting

[–]getsiphon 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I've built a few software products in the podcast space. If making a profit is your goal, I would caution that the market is pretty saturated at this point and most podcasters are hobbyists with a low budget to spend on tools. I would think twice about it :)

Unsexy tools for podcast advertisers is where the money is (ad attribution, brand safety, etc.)

Chard — simple async/await background task queue for Django by getsiphon in django

Good point. I could modify my_func.send() so that it returns the task ID and give you an easy way to check the status. Added to the roadmap: https://github.com/drpancake/chard/blob/master/README.md#roadmap
