    Hi all,

    I've recently launched a new website builder dedicated for podcasters. From my experience in the podcasting world, I noticed there's a gap between what podcasters need and the available solutions. So far, there were two primary solutions for podcasters - (other than a complete DIY website..)

    1) Use a popular CMS like WordPress, Squarespace, Wix, Weebly, Webflow - These platforms are really great, but they weren't built for podcasters specifically, and can be too complex for some users.

    2) Use a "mini-site" provided by some podcast host - These sites are often too basic, and are lacking features and flexibility.

    With Podcastpage, it's possible to create a podcast website in minutes, by just pulling in the podcast RSS feed. Then it can be customized, use a custom domain, add a blog or custom pages, and integrate with multiple podcast/marketing tools.

    If someone's interested in the tech stack - we used Angular + Universal (SSR) for the front, along with Tailwind CSS. The back end uses Node/NestJS/Mongo. We're hosting the sites with built-in caching through a global CDN, with SEO and speed optimizations.

    Thanks for stopping by and let me know if you have any questions :)
