Hi all,<p>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.<p>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 :)<p>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.<p>Would love to hear what everybody is thinking! All feedback is welcome!<p>Tech: Postgres + PostgREST backend, Sveltekit frontend.<p>Disclaimer: its still a bit hack-ish currently, so I fully expect things to break somehow :) just post me a note about it<p>Here you go: <a href="https://podbear.netlify.app/" rel="nofollow">https://podbear.netlify.app/</a>
Strange, compared to Pocket Cast's search, I'm not finding anything when looking for somewhat more edgy topics:<p><a href="https://play.pocketcasts.com/search?q=%22Jacques%20Vall%C3%A9e%22" rel="nofollow">https://play.pocketcasts.com/search?q=%22Jacques%20Vall%C3%A...</a>
<a href="https://play.pocketcasts.com/search?q=%22tracy%20twyman%22" rel="nofollow">https://play.pocketcasts.com/search?q=%22tracy%20twyman%22</a><p>These search queries offer many results on Pock Casts and none from your search engine. Any idea what's wrong here?
