September 21, 2020 New Feature: Mark multiple episodes as played

We realized that it's hard for people who just joined to get much value out of the site. We are working on multiple small features to make the first onboarding experience nicer.

The first feature in this list is the possibility to mark a whole podcast as "completed" with a single click.

Learning: Go through your onboarding workflow frequently to see how it feels for new users.

August 28, 2020 New Post: Last.fm for podcasts

For a few years I was periodically searching for "Last.fm for podcasts" because I was searching for some platform to solve my "problem" of not being able to scrobble podcasts. I never found anything that does it in the way that I wanted it to work. I hope there are some more people thinking that way that might find Lastcast useful now.

    This is such a good idea! Not sure what their listener numbers are, but I listen a lot in the Stitcher app to access some of their paid podcasts, if you want to look into adding support there.

      Thanks! Right now we are focusing on podcasts that are available in the open as it was easier to integrate. In the future we might expand that but our next steps are to integrate more apps and make it easier to link them most likely.

      Glad you like the idea!

August 27, 2020 Launching Lastcast.fm - Track your podcast history

Hello IndieHackers 👋

after talking about it on a lot of IndieHacker meetups we can finally share the product we were working on!

Lastcast.fm is a new platform that keeps track of your listening habits across various podcast apps. It enables you to have to a unified listening history and some insights into your personal stats. You can also easily see what your friends are listening to and explore new podcasts.

Insights range from your total amount of hours listened to which genres you prefer or how many podcasts you finished. You can also organize your favorite podcasts and episodes in lists and share them – very handy to collect podcasts or single episodes you find on social media and that are recommended to you by friends.

Especially the last point was a big pain for ourselves and so even that feature is already very useful to us.

That's just the first version that we felt comfortable with releasing (probably already later than we should have! 😅) so let us know if there's anything that doesn't work or that you would like to see!

Thanks for checking it out!

    Hey, very cool. I’m working on a podcast app now. I’m looking for ways to surface unique. I formation to podcast listeners and this seems cool. I’ll take a look at your developer documentation and see what it might take to allow users to scrobble directly to your site While they listen if they sign in.

    Here’s my app btw: www.hypercatcher.com

We love podcasts and tracking our own data. We also feel that the best recommendations come from friends and that’s why we build Lastcast.fm to help with that.
