What started with a music-minded design approach now opens up to the world of narrative, episodic and long-form content, allowing you to publish your podcast(s) using fast, maintenance free static site technology. \o/
(Almost) everything new in a nutshell:
Podcast RSS & Atom feeds, Support for linking to timecodes/tracks, Playback speed controls, new volume slider, new raster-based procedural covers, Integration of missing images in track list and browse/search, new --preview-ip flag, many apple-specific fixes, Portuguese (european) translations, and much more – see the changelog: https://codeberg.org/simonrepp/faircamp/src/branch/main/CHANGELOG.md#1-3
This big new development was made possible through an NGI0 grant by @nlnet, funded by the european commission's @EC_NGI initiative – thank you so much!
Also many thanks to all helping hands, this time especially @sknob, @strk, lnicola, @syndicate, @meljoann, @oliver, @controlfreak, @keefmarshall, invadeuse, @greenman, @apfel, N4ta, @didier, @torstentorsten, @elx, @Vac, Patricio Maripani and Patrik Wallström - if you were also directly involved in the adventure and I somehow missed you (so much going on oof! •ᴗ•), apologies and please feel included! <3
Today Faircamp 0.23.0 was released - the last release before 1.0! ٩(◕‿◕。)۶
What's #faircamp? Check out https://simonrepp.com/faircamp/
What's new: All site layouts now fully adapt to RTL (right-to-left) languages, another dozen of accessibility improvements were added, the docked and embed players now make much better use of limited space, MP3 transcoding now writes more broadly supported ID3v2.3 tags (thanks @berdandy for the PR), a few font-related improvements were made (thanks @thurti for the contributions and @fennifith for a prior PR/research supporting this), russian translations were added (thanks @wileyfoxyx), italian and lithuanian translations updated (thanks @toctoc and @Vac) and a few bugs fixed!
As always, huge thanks to @nlnet and @EC_NGI for funding this work through an NGI0 grant - this time around especially also to Marc, my project supervisor, diligent reviewer and cultural advisor on RTL layouting.
One last thing: I've set up a newsletter where from now on I will also announce new faircamp releases! It's an experiment for now, but I think it might provide a nice way to stay updated without the/my social media noise. :) You can sign up here: https://simonrepp.com/newsletter/ (I did much research to find an ethical provider & settled on @keila, check 'em out!)
