Hey everyone! I'm Ben, creator of sparse.
For me, finding the podcasts that I want to listen to is hard because they are scattered all around the internet. And there isn't a place where you can go and discover a new podcast you want to listen to. Mostly you discover them from a friends recommendation or a blog post or something else. That's why I made sparse to solve the podcast discovery problem.
Sparse lets you discover podcasts ranging from different topics, it randomly suggests you a podcast from its database. So anytime you want to listen to a podcast but don't know what to listen to, sparse is here to help you.
There are some cons though, sparse doesn't keep track of the podcasts that were shown so you're bound to see a particular podcast many times. Another con is that there are no filters to adjust the suggestions. I hope to work on these features next week and ship them ASAP!
If you have any suggestions, please let me know in the comments.
Love the simplicity of the UI! Already sourcing some new content of interest 🙌
Any plans on integrating a level of content-based filtering to recommend similar shows to what users have engaged with?
The idea and website looks simple. I love the cover photo for each podcast and the random button. Discovered couple of interesting podcasts. Congrats on the launch @harowitzblack. 👏👏👏
Can't wait to see more podcasts get added
Pros:So easy to find something new to listen to!
