Hey all,

I've spent the majority of the last year hammering away at Pinepods. It's a Rust based podcast management system that manages podcasts with multi-user support and relies on a central database with clients to connect to it. It's complete with a browser based client and your podcasts and settings follow you from device to device due to everything being stored on the server. AntennaPod is great and all but sometimes I want to listen to podcasts from my laptop. Here's a great solution to that problem. There's also a client edition that you can download and install.

Search both The Podcast Index or Itunes to browse through shows and episodes, Import or export opmls of your podcasts, utilize the standard of podcasting 2.0. It's all fully dockerized and you can have an instance of your own up and running in 5 mins!

If you're on the fence you can try it out without installing the server too! Check the website for more info!

There's a lot more to come down the pipeline as well, such as a lightweight client to stream episodes to and alternative database support. Now is the perfect time to check it out and enjoy continued feature updates! Feel free to open issues or PRs if you experience any problems. Or drop a line on the discord. I'm happy to help!

Extremely good call on the tagging. I love that. I've implementing saving for some basic essentially bookmarking of episodes so far but taking that one further and allowing the user to define custom save tags that they can associate without episodes and quickly access is a fantastic idea.

I'll have to give your backlog queuing idea some thought. I think there's absolutely room for that feature. There's also a lot to considering with implementing it in the most effective way possible. I wondering about maybe taking a look at what podcasts you listen to the most, checking which episodes from those you haven't listened to, and then aggregating them into a cohesive backlog. These kinds of computational tasks like refreshing for example already happen on the backend so adding more things like that doesn't affect the user experience at all.
