Hello!

I am currently working on building an open source self hosted application that allows you to record, edit, and publish podcast episodes (like Castopod but more emphasis on recording and editing).

I’m not sure if this is the best place to ask but I am looking to see if I could maybe find a small handful of people who would be willing to play around and test either a version running on their own system or the production demo I have running.

I’ve been messing around with it myself for several months but have not received feedback from pretty much anyone else and would like to know what some others think. I initially published the project to GitHub about 5 months ago.

Thanks!

Edit: the link to the GitHub is

    You’re just going to have a hard time competing with what are at this point very polished audio recorders and editors like Audacity and Reaper. The integration with the hosting platform seems unnecessary.

    But I wish you the best of luck!

      Reaper

      Reaper is good. I use Ableton. Tho I’ve never tried it, Ardour can be selfhosted.

        Sure, I mean take your pick. The point is that these are all very mature software products and OP wants to recreate the whole thing for the purpose of being integrated into the web platform. I just don’t see the value in it, personally. It’s not hard to upload files.
