Podnami improves the discovery of great technology podcast episodes. There's an abundance of podcasts out there - but it's hard to figure out which conversations are worth tuning in to.

The best episodes get voted to the top and is your "daily digest" of technology to listen to.

Happy to answer questions about its tech stack or future plans!

This is great! Only thing I'd ask is that if you're going to allow direct playing on the site, to enable 1.5-2x speed.

Thank you!

We'll add it in the native player coming soon. Web based audio players have major drawbacks, such as limitations in background playback on mobile devices. That's why we've intentionally left the web player as simple as possible until the native player is launched.

Love the concept. All of the descriptions are cut short and end with... As a user, that leads me to believe I can click on a cut description to see the full description. At least on mobile Safari, clicking on a description does nothing.

Thanks!

That's the result of our somewhat shaky truncation feature which is supposed to stop overly long titles and descriptions to break the layout. We'll look into how a "click to expand" feature could work!

Recently noted down my favorite podcasts I love. It's a bit hard to keep up at times even with 2x/2.5x speeds and smart speed on with Overcast. There's so much good content out there. https://wiki.nikitavoloboev.xyz/podcasts

That's a great list of favorite episodes you have there!

We'll add the Joe Rogan Experience interview with John Carmack to our list as well - one of the all time classics!

Overuse of truncation sucks. Screw the layout: users can easily scroll down and up. Truncating without a click to expand option is inexcusable. Meanwhile, how about just don't use truncation at all. There's a limit for number of characters in a podcast description. It's in the 2000's I think.
