> gpodder.net

Not sure quite what's going on with that project but when I looked - gpodder.net was a subscription service and the foss project was somewhat hidden and renamed as mygpo. Felt a bit suss and abandoned although I guess an rss server could just be "done".

There is also opodsync that seems to be a bit more alive and popular and says it's gpodder compatible. Not tried it though.

My enthusiasm to self-host my podcast/rss feed was killed dead when I gave nextcloud another go since it can apparently do this. Every few years I set it up having forgotten that the last time I did, I swore to never touch it again. I can't believe it's still such a bad experience.



I've been working on an RSS web app that solves this issue. Works offline, syncs across devices.

It works but trying to make something that scales to a lot of users is technically really hard.

Initially it was client only, but you can't really do that with rss due to cors issues. You have to proxy the feed downloads..

Anyway, I have a working prototype I'm just trying to fix bugs now so I can start showing it to people. Taken me a year almost to get this far
