Dude, this is awesome

Oh my. I didn’t notice that. What usually is a pita, now is a breeze

That’s interesting. Does it integrate well with Spring Boot?

It is 299$ lifetime. It is extremely cheap

One thing is a critic based on verifiable facts. Another thing is defending yourself. A third one is coming up with bad things nobody can verify. Your post mixes these things

Very strange that this happened after said michael novati commented here.

You don’t know when to stop, do you?

I'll get that fixed right away. Thanks for the feedback

We plan to put it on AWS. We are still unsure if the BW costs will be overwhelming, but we will give it a try.

Hi Show HN,

I'm really honored to share with you what me and my colleagues have been working on as a side project since the beginning of this year.

We are a three people team, all three of us are engineers or en route to a degree in engineering and this poses a nice challenge, since the product, UI and marketing we all have to figure out as we code the MVP.

Our Stack:

* Node.js with Typescript and Nest.js for Backend

* React over Next.js for Frontend

* PostgreSQL for database

Pitch is a podcast hosting platform that allows Content Creators to host their podcasts for free, without any severe limitation, such as minutes, number of episodes, number of podcasts, etc. I believe that the incentives of a paid platform are really bad, because they severely restrain the ability of any podcast to grow or even to bootstrap, as you have to pay for the scale or might have to pay to use it anytime in the future. Many people just have podcasts as a hobby and it is not nice to pay a non-null amount of dollars for having a hobby.

With that in mind, we are going to grow our user base first and then offer an optional revenue share program for the content creator. I believe this incentive is good because growing the content creator's reach is as much a success for them as it would be for us, making this model the perfect alignment of interests between us and the content creator. Of course there are other variables that we will also optimize for, such as user satisfaction - one of our KPIs - and quality of the advertising/content.

Podcast hosting is one of the tools we are offering our users and we will add other tools, such as one-click distribution, RSS feed, Analytics dashboard, etc.

I really hope to have some feedback - good or otherwise - so that I can improve my product and have this side-project become a company that I can grow and impact society positively.

I liked the graceful shutdown that Parse had. Always thought that FB would just unplug the wire
