Measured on 2026-10-15: the feed list and item lists went out uncompressed at over 100 KB; ipx
read 2.6 GB of feed bodies a day and the directory 3.9 GB.
- ipx-web compresses with zstd or gzip, leaving out /api/events, which a compressor would hold
back, and /media (#239).
- A body identical to the last one (SHA-256 in feeds.body_hash) is taken as a 304, unless
something is missing a read would fill or the check is forced; and a feed without a schedule
of its own whose body has been the same waits a twelfth of that, up to four hours, beside the
failure backoff (#242). 35 Patreon show feeds sent ~300 KB each hourly, about 250 MB a day.
- The directory checks each feed every twelve hours, not six (#243).
- reqwest accepts brotli and zstd too (#244).
#240 (cache the feed list's counts) is left open: at production's size on the test Postgres
that count takes 12 ms and All Subscriptions 32 ms, against 366 and 300 ms in production, so
the cause is production's database, not the query (#241).

site/gen.mjs writes them from site/api.mjs, which holds each endpoint and type as the handlers
have them, and site/docs.mjs, the guides. A misspelt type in api.mjs fails the build rather than
leaving a name that links nowhere.

The logo is Gitea's own, from git.sdf1.net, with its inline styles
turned into fill attributes.

The player was the one feature with its picture under its text; it is a
row like the rest now, its bar cut short of the volume so it stays
legible in the narrower column. The feed list is cut to the first two
shows, so its row is no taller than its text, and the directory to its
first two rows, which the old crop cut through. On a phone the directory
shows its left column.
The copy loses its insiders' words: feeds are podcasts, the swarm and
seeding ratio are sharing back for as long as you choose, OPML is said
once and explained, Rust is gone. Headings say what you get ("New
episodes, ready to play", "Cut the dead air", "See what others listen
to"), and the hero opens with iPX by name and says it runs on your own
server, which the tagline used to.

A waveform in the dial's navy frame: the talk keeps its width, each
silence lights in the needle's orange and shrinks to a short pause, and
the episode ends sooner. CSS only, as the page's CSP allows no script of
its own; with reduced motion it shows the shortened episode, still. The
player section no longer mentions DeadAir, which has its own now.

The player crop had class "bar", which is also the header's class, so the
image took the header's padding and flex layout and was drawn squashed.
It is "player" now.

The whole-window screenshot is cut into the parts that show each feature: the feed list, the
episode table with its Files pane, the player, the phone, and the directory's most subscribed,
each in the dial's navy frame at no more than its own size. On a phone the wide ones show their
left part, larger. Features with nothing to show sit in a short list below.

With no padding at the bottom, so the window would seem to rise out of the panel, it read as a
border missing a side.

The desktop window was a 1440px window shown at 690px, unreadable, with the phone over the
corner that says the most. It is now a 1200px window shown near its size, in a navy panel like
the dial; the phone sits beside its own text, which leaves the feature list for Sign in your way.
On a phone the window shows its left part, larger. The CSP lets Cloudflare Web Analytics run.

Inter, the same file ipx-web serves, in place of Archivo. Screenshots of a scratch iPX subscribed
to public podcasts (99% Invisible playing; Ologies on a phone), never production's. The Run it
section and the links to the source are out for now.

A static page in site/, built into site/dist by site/build.sh with the logo and icon from web/,
for Cloudflare Pages. The hero's dial is the iPodderX logo's tuning scale at full size, its
stations shows from the directory; the needle sweeps once on load (not with reduced motion) and
lights the one it stops on. One typeface, Archivo, self-hosted, its width axis doing the work.
No script; _headers sets a CSP that allows only the site's own files.
