Delete Branch "%!s()"
Deleting a branch is permanent. Although the deleted branch may continue to exist for a short time before it actually gets removed, it CANNOT be undone in most cases. Continue?
The Directory is one grid of every listed feed (1,472 in production on 2026-10-05) under a row of Podcasts/Blogs tabs, a wall of about 30 category chips and a sort menu, with a picked category's subcategories appearing as a second row of chips that look the same. It reads as a list to scroll, not a place to browse, and the two rows of chips are hard to tell apart.
Wanted, after Apple Podcasts' directory: a landing page with the most subscribed feeds as a ranked chart and the categories as tiles, each opening a page of its own with its subcategories and its feeds. The ten most subscribed feeds move into the Directory, so Popular no longer needs a place of its own in the feed list.
Done in
95acde3: the Directory opens on the ten most subscribed, ranked, then the categories as tiles with three of their shows' covers; a category has its own page with its most subscribed, subcategory buttons with counts, and its grid; See all lists every feed. Popular is no longer a place in the feed list (g p is gone), /api/popular stays. Deployed 2026-10-05 (0.9.2-dev).
