I still need to brand this and there is a need for a lot of polish...but here a personal deploy of #PVNG
https://pv.suorcd.us/podcasts?type=global&sort=recent
I just grabbed the top 1000 from the #podcastindex so not taking responsibility for what is up.
Building a podcast app that truly empowers instance owners means laying down a robust foundation. We’re shedding our legacy constraints and moving Podverse NG to K3s and ArgoCD. 🏗️
Wrote up some thoughts on where we are currently (a Docker Compose alpha is live!) and our vision for a decentralized, resilient future for podcasting.

Podverse Alpha update
It's a little ironic that LLM advancements have created even more work for me...but it has unlocked the potential to add many improvements that I simply would not have found the time to complete without it.
One example: I've added the ability to mass generate valid Podcasting 2.0 RSS feeds for test purposes into the nextgen repo. This work would have been way too tedious for me to prioritize before the recent LLMs, but now takes about a day to complete.
Podverse Alpha update 🛠️
We are nearly ready to implement V4V in Podverse Alpha web...and I am completely out-of-date in terms of what the current practices are.
Can anyone direct me to resources I should follow for a web-based Bitcoin V4V implementation? Is the standard still keysend? Are there multiple types of implementations we should support by now?
@leanderlindahl Maybe Podverse is what you're looking for? https://podverse.fm/about It's already fediverse-ready.
There's also the federated Castopod platform to parallel UP, https://castopod.org/ Not quite Mastodon, but compatible through ActivityPub.

Podverse Alpha Update 🛠️
Added multiple Language support to the website.
This is one of my favorite features in Nextgen so far...we write a root language file in English, then before deploying, we use LLM to automatically translate the file into other languages, so it's effortless to add support for as many languages as we want.
We also have an "overrides" file for each language, so if LLM gives us funky translations, we can replace them as needed.
Podverse Alpha Update 🛠️
Push notifications have been added to Podverse Alpha web.
Listeners can configure 3 different types of notifications:
- New item (episode or music track)
- Livestream scheduled
- Livestream started
They can also set different settings for different feeds.
This was a lot of work to add. The code includes not only support for web, but an orchestrator to send notifications to also iOS and Android (when the mobile app is ready).
