PPPs #1: Compatibility 🚀

Our first working block was focussed on one of our main design goals: Compatibility.
We want to build ThunderFeeds so it is a useful new monetization option for podcasters - not only in theory but also in practice.

Therefore, we needed to find a way that makes the tool usable immediately for as many podcasters as possible. The main challenge here is that, by nature, the hosting service (e.g. AnchorFM) decides which content is available in a podcast feed. Switching the hosting provider to try out a new tool is a pretty big ask, so we needed something leaner.

The solution: ThunderFeeds is not replacing the existing feed but only "adding the paid content on top".
More on how that works exactly in the next update!

Plans 📆

  • Build backend + frontend for podcast import

Progress ✅

  • Decide on core architecture of the tool

  • Map out process for ThunderFeeds usage with both Podcasting 2.0 apps and legacy apps

Problems ✋

  • I'm sure we'll have some during development soon enough :D
