Since my last post about https://piratefeeds.net/ I've added a lot of cool new feeds to the site. I've gotta hand it to reddit-logo, they really came through with the donations. We now have a bunch of high demand feeds: TrueAnon, Trashfuture, Trillbilly, and a dozen more!

I've added a script that attempts to check whether premium feeds are still working or got downgraded to the free version, you can check the status badges on the site for that. It's not perfect though.

In particular, I'd be very grateful for donations of:

  • Your Kickstarter Sucks
  • Bungacast
  • Glue Factory
  • The Worst Of All Possible Worlds
  • Bad Hasbara
  • Blank Check
  • Ten Thousand Posts
  • The Antifada
  • This Is Revolution
  • Diet Soap
  • We're Not So Different
  • We Might Be Drunk
  • Cosmonaut Magazine
  • If Books Could Kill
  • Tran Girlismo
  • Trainsatlantic
  • Be Gay Solve Crimes

Also, once again, duplicate feeds are still sorely needed as backups.

The people will be eternally grateful to donors for their service!

NOTE: some users apparently can't resolve the domain. Best guess is some ISPs/DNS servers are blocking the site as part of anti-piracy filters. If that's your case try setting your DNS server to a big one like Cloudflare's 1.1.1.1 or Google's 8.8.8.8. Alternatively using a VPN seems to fix it.

NOTE: I currently only support feeds hosted on Patreon. I can't guarantee proper anonymization of feeds hosted on other providers, so I can't accept them for now.

A suggestions to make webpage more ergonomic. Two columns. Numerated entries. Time and date of last update. Different colors of newly added podcasts.

    Genuinely thank you for the feedback! My first thoughts:

    • Two columns wouldn't work on mobile. I could serve different pages based on device but I'm lazy and that seems like a lot of work right now.
    • Numerated entries are a good idea, but the numbering would change every time I add/remove feeds if I want to stick to alphabetical ordering, which kinda defeats the purpose.
    • For last update do you mean last time the feeds were fetched or last time I modified the index page?
    • New podcast highlighting would be nice indeed, but it would probably have to be manual.

    My first general problem is that right now I'm serving a static page with a reverse proxy, so it's difficult to implement backend logic. The second problem is that I

    • am not a frontend dev
    • am bad at frontend dev
    • hate frontend dev.

    If someone has suggestions on how I could implement stuff like this without moving to a web app with a backend I'm all ears.
