Show HN: PodBear – A Podcast Search Engine
podbear.netlify.app
a few weeks ago I found myself in a situation without anything interesting to listen to. Been through all podcast recommendations from friends and the usual recos from itunes, etc were not cutting it for me. So I build myself a podcast search engine. Based on the data from podcastindex.org and some other available infos.
It doesnt (yet) have all available podcasts, only the ones I could find some rating/engagement infos on. But its still around 60k podcasts to discover :)
One can search / filter / sort by category, rating, popularity, episodes, language, update date, etc. There is also a very simple full text search that searches through title, description, author, etc.
Would love to hear what everybody is thinking! All feedback is welcome!
Tech: Postgres + PostgREST backend, Sveltekit frontend.
Disclaimer: its still a bit hack-ish currently, so I fully expect things to break somehow :) just post me a note about it
