Just wanted to share a little project I've been working on...
https://github.com/JamieCurnow/Podcasts
It's an open source podcast app :tada:
Demo app running here:
https://lovepodcasts.com/
I started it a while ago and it's become my daily driver for listening to pods.
It's completely RSS-driven, there are no ads, no tracking, no signup (!) and it's completely open source :relieved:
It runs on the web and as a PWA that can be installed anywhere. All data persisted in local storage :glowing_star:
Stack: Vue/Nuxt (typescript :ok:)
It's all about putting the listener in control. And taking advantage of the purity of RSS and the open web :heart_hands:
It's still early days, but I'm really excited about its potential. I'd love for you to check it out, give me your thoughts, or even contribute if you're interested :blush:
Standout feature:
Chapters support! :muscle:
And I'm working on some best-shot parsing of podcast descriptions for pods that don't put the chapters in the XML but put them free-text in descriptions. The one I've done this with which is a game changer is the Lex Fridman pod.
And also some advice please :folded_hands: what license should I use? It's a minefield! I've landed on GNU Affero General Public License (AGPL) for starters :face_with_monocle:
Thanks for all the great content you produce!
Jamie
Tim Uckun (Aug 29 2025 at 22:04):Hey. This looks pretty cool but here is some input if you want it.
I listen to podcasts mostly in my car and I live in NZ so mobile bandwidth is really expensive to me. My two most important features in a podcast app are downloading the podcasts only on wifi, and an intuitive easy to use GUI when I am driving, and apple car play integration.
I don't think PWAs can download podcasts only on wifi but if you ever decide to push this and make it an app it's something to consider.
