Built a customizable embeddable podcast player. Would love your feedback!

https://podcard.co/

Hey! I built this customizable & embeddable podcast player for a project I've been working on at my day job.

I couldn't find a nice looking player that I could dynamically populate using any podcast feed (regardless of the podcast host) and style to match the page I was embedding it on.

So I thought I'd share what I built and see if anyone can get some value at it as well!

This was also my first time trying Tailwind (https://tailwindcss.com) as the frontend framework for the builder. Really liking it so far!

    Nice, I like the idea. During a customer interview someone once told me that he wanted an embeddable player with an email signup form included. Maybe more people have that need.

      Nice, thanks Markus! That could be really cool. Wouldn't be too hard to implement.

      Thanks so much! Do you think it’s too simple? Anything missing?

        @joshanderton No I love the simplicity. I think as a starting point it's great. What's your plan for what to do next with it?

          Thanks a ton. Right now, I'm just getting feedback. If people use it then I'd like to add more features (a share menu and a "All Episodes" menu are what I'm thinking to start).

    This looks awesome! The player color doesn't change in Safari tho FYI :). Background and everything changes, but not the actual player color.

      Really appreciate that, thanks!

      Thanks for letting me know!! I will fix that asap.
