@nprofile…2rrg Awesome! When someone searches for a podcast in your app, do you just carry over the same results and order from PI?

2026-04-23 22:51:56 UTC

If you use Podcast Index for your app's catalog, are you using the Podcast Index endpoint for search, too? Or do you roll your own search?

@nprofile…tsmm @nprofile…7epg It was someone who did some basic cross calculations and estimated extrapolations.
For example, if you run the prompts through OpenRouter and see the cost is $100, and you run it through a Claude subscription and see it used 2% of your limit, then you can infer that you'd get about $5,000 from Claude's subsidization.

2026-04-01 00:11:03 UTC

"If you want …" has become the most frustrating response I've been getting from #OpenClaw lately.
Me: "Do the thing."
OpenClaw: "Okay. I've prepared the thing. If you want, I can do the thing."

@nprofile…7epg Anthrophic and OpenAI have so drastically subsidized their subscriptions that even with reduced usage, you're probably still getting a killer deal.
Before this throttling, that last stat I heard was that the $200/month Claude Max plan gives up to $5,000 worth of inference (what you'd pay through OpenRouter or the direct API).

2026-03-06 01:58:03 UTC

What's a good podcast or YouTube channel to follow about OpenClaw that is NOT all like, "Steal my secrets to make massive money online with no money down!"?
Also, absolutely no AI-slop content!

I was originally planning to launch with Whisper 3 via Groq, which is also very fast and cheaper. But it doesn't have the nice features that DeepGram has. I found that Whisper segments transcripts better than Deepgram when there's music in the background. But I built PodChapters to make its own segments from the "word" transcripts.

Polar and Paddle are merchants of record, which I think is more than I need. Besides, they're both proving difficult to integrate with Better Auth and Convex.
Even Better Auth and Convex is proving difficult, with some inaccurate documentation and overly complex setup.
All the momentum and excitement I had for launch my new product has come to a screeching halt.

2025-08-22 20:31:47 UTC

Yowza. Auth + billing is way more complicated than it should be!
I've tried Convex Auth, Better Auth, Clerk, Kinde, Paddle, Dodo Payments, Autumn, and Polar.
They all have deal-breaking frustrations.
For example, Clerk is the easiest to implement, but the UX for a new user isn't very good (subscribe ➜ sign up ➜ subscribe).

This is far more detailed and accurate than Apple's "explicit" tag.
For example, how should a show like One Extraordinary Marriage be tagged? It _is_ "explicit" because the talk about sex within marriage so it's not appropriate for kids. But it's not "dirty."

Polar might do everything at 4% + 40¢ (covering Stripe core fees) + Stripe's 0.5% Billing feature. And Polar requires a lot more manual set up and is the merchant of record that I don't think I need.
And I've seen that directly integrating with Stripe is actually a nightmare because of inconsistencies and API weirdness.
I won't work with LemonSqueezy because of a horrible months-long customer experience they still have yet to fix.
Is there something else I should be considering?

For my upcoming new #podcasting tool, I'm trying to build the authentication and billing natively in it (instead of using WordPress + MemberPress), but it's expensive!
Clerk does subscriptions for Stripe fees + 0.7% (no Stripe Billing fees), but not one-time payments.
Kinde does only monthly subscriptions.
Better-Auth's Stripe plugin does only subscriptions.

Really nice redesign of the Auphonic website!

Here's another tease for my upcoming podcasting tool for podcasters! These are the icons from the current feature list (potentially even more features at launch).
Can you figure it out from this?

Another peek at my upcoming new podcasting tool for podcasters!
Any guesses what it is? (Hint: I had to hide something from this view that would have otherwise given it away!)
I'll be looking for beta testers soon!

After @nprofile…ywdy added the new OP3 API endpoints to get 1-/3-/7-/30-day and total episodic downloads, I've been playing with displaying it on my DeskHog mini computer.
I just added the feature for it to change the color of each stat base on whether it's higher or lower than the same stat of the previous episode! For example, My #400 ("What's a Podcast Anymore?") is better on every metric than #399. And #401's 1-day downloads stat is better than #400's.

@nprofile…kmnl I love that you want to beta test it without knowing what it even is! 🤣
Do you use chapters on Entrepreneurs Enigma?

I was up until 4 am this morning building something new for podcasters. I was literally getting goosebumps seeing it working like magic!
And yes, of course, it's built for Podcasting 2.0!
Coming soon!

@nprofile…ywdy What genius had that brilliant idea? I'll bet he's single and ready for some hot namespace talk. 😎

@nprofile…h82d Well, I can access the API directly via Postman. So it's something with the website's weird proxy setup.
Sorry, I give up. Whoever built the site original might be the only one who can fully maintain it since it's on such an old and clunky stack.

@nprofile…h82d I'm trying really hard, but I can't get the local dev environment working. It might be because my localhost is being blocked by Cloudflare from accessing the API.
Oh, how I would love to get the website on a modern stack, like Next.js, which would be _much_ easier to maintain.

@nprofile…vu32 I might check it out. Candace seems to have gone off the deep end, and she's not doing anything to clarify or counter accusations based on her recent-ish statements..

@nprofile…h82d Does a PodcastIndex.org listing read the episode titles from <itunes:title>, or do you have some logic stripping episode numbers from titles?
https://podcastindex.org/podcast/1072938
Either way, I suggest having an additional line to show the episode number.

For publishing tools (like PowerPress), I'm including a field to say _where_ the option can be customized.
And for podcast apps, I'll support multiple images fields to _show_ where and how features show up (especially if it's different based on circumstances, like episode numbers in an "episodic" vs. "serial" podcast).
I'm getting excited about having a place podcasters and developers can finally see all this information laid out so well!
@nprofile…3ram will be happy it's finally moving along. 😎

WOW! This is intense work! I think I now have all of Apple Podcasts and PowerPress entered.

@nprofile…xy55 @nprofile…h82d @nprofile…hjan @nprofile…jwqz That's unfortunate that Seriously Simple Podcasting even allows that to happen.

Other examples to think about:
• If an app supports podroll, is there a maximum limit?
• Is the tag searchable in the app?
• Are there known compatibility issues (such as artwork file size with Apple Podcasts)?
• Where does an app get the episode artwork? And in what fallback order (if any)?
The name and idea where inspired by caniuse.com and caniemail.com, the list of apps and tools will be _much_ longer, and I've decided to _not_ replicate their data structure in favor of maintainability.
