can anyone suggest a better analytics tool than Google, I am finding it lacks information that the old version had. Maybe I am missing something.

Podcast app developers @merryoscar @podcastaddict @podcastguru please support video.

According to Podcastindex.org we only have 3 apps that support video and with this supposedly big push into video we need more apps to support it.

Well done to @samsethi @podverse and Digilore

#podcastapps

Can we please give a round of applause to everyone involved in Podcasting Index and the name space. People like:
@nathan @dave @adam @samsethi @StevenB @steven @james @merryoscar just to name a few.

The community has truely achieved some ground breaking things like location, transcripts, person tag and podcast GUID. Not to mention having an open index directory and podping.

So let me say from the bottom of my heart ❤️ thank you to everyone

@dansup i love @pixelfed only thing i noticed is i cant see who ❤️ my pictures and they been getting hearts. Anyway to see that data on iOS app?

@atomicpoet why can’t I see the result?

Been happening alot lately with polls on mastodon. #mastodon

@tchambers @dansup it was a little joke between Dan and I. If he does decide to do it. It will be interesting as it’s really hard to make a CDN you have to have many servers around the world. We use Varnish Cache for ours.

@dansup fediCDN.

@dansup ok how is that possible? You might want to roll out your own network of CDN servers and remove Cloudflare.

@dave would be great to get publisher feeds working on PodcastIndex.org please

here our demo: works on Truefans and Fountain.fm

@dansup who are you using? We use sendGrid and it’s cheap as chips.

@dansup what does the 3 star review say

@dansup just please be careful of burnout. It happens I’ve struggled with it and managing 2 companies is not easy when both need to make profit to stay afloat. You’re a little different but I think the community would lose someone super talented if you don’t take time to relax.

Yes I know coding is relaxing (it is for me too)

@dansup have you ever used Redis or rabbitMQ? What is your thoughts if you have? I am looking at it to store average listener time queue so we don’t accidentally use old data twice and don’t mis-calculate.

I know I can build a manual queue in mongodb but thought maybe this is better?

@twilliability @hongminhee would be nice to have a standard though as a developer I want something that is understood by all.

@hongminhee as a developer we often struggle with this too has there is no real standard. We should make one.

@dansup The issue with it Dan, is great if your a Tiktok app, but for a podcast hosting company or a video sharing company it is a little different we are not dealing with 30 second clips we are dealing with 1h to 3h 4K video.

It's very costly, and if you have cracked that code, would love to see an open source version of it, as that could be a game changer

@dansup what software do you use to make your android app.

@dansup I am most definitely the most harshest person to myself. Even my partner says am to hard on myself.

He always saying how proud he is of me, and it’s sweet. But that doesn’t put money on the table and help us make a life.

I’ve worked to bloody hard to fail that’s what I keep saying to myself. So keep smashing doors they will open eventually.

Message of the story, even when you don’t feel happy or 100%. People close to you have your back and see how hard you’re working.

As a developer some days you just go. BLEEP 🤬 IT!
Honestly one of the hardest thing is trying not to burn yourself out, coding more coding more brain cells being used.

You get to a point where you just go BLEEP 🤬 IT.

There’s no real warning signs. Just one day you go to bed, next day you’re just wanting to sleep or feeling down.

There do much I should be proud of, but I always go you can do better you must do better.

My accountant and friend said to me today “you know you’re talented” 👌
