Hey! I’m the Developer of Pinepods. It really aims to be the ultimate podcast solution that’s as self-hosted as possible. I’m trying to make it as fleshed out feature wise as any paid or android specific podcast application while allowing for server sync and access everywhere on any device. Its getting better and better all the time! https://pinepods.online/

As the creator of Pinepods. Yes it does

Pinepods 0.7.4 is out! So as the Dev I’m going through new issues and knocking them out. Smart playlists, oidc logins and notifications on release are all a thing now on the self hosted podcast platform! We’re nearing a v1 release with features on par with some of the big time podcast apps.

Yep! The Android App is somewhat in the works. It compiles, works and has all the features of the web version currently. The things that don’t work are the aspects that make it an actual Android app. Like local device downloads and integration with Android APIs. That stuff is coming. After this next minor release getting to those are my priority.

Not that I’m biased or anything, but Pinepods objectively has WAYYY more features than audiobookshelf for podcast management. Because it’s a podcast server of course. Things like podcast 2.0 support with chapters, hosts, and transcripts, YouTube channel support, embedded podcast Index, YouTube and iTunes search support, external RSS feed support, etc. Audiobookshelf is great, but it’s an audiobook app. It’d probably be clutter to add a lot of this stuff.

And true on the link. It should redirect though.

Working on Smart Playlists for Pinepods I’m the developer of the self-hosted podcast management server and Sunday is always my new feature day. I’ve had a lot of fun adding in new features lately. Like designing a homepage and adding OIDC login support. Don’t let anybody tell you auth isn’t fun.

Probably because people self-host them. I have an invidious instance self-hosted and use clipious on android to watch videos on it. Feels super modern and have pretty much no issues. Public instances usually don’t work because of datacenter ips get blocked by YouTube.
