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. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

|
<dl>
|
|
<div><dt>Everyone gets their own list</dt>
|
|
<dd>Each person subscribes, reads and listens at their own pace, and picks up where they left off on any device. However many of you want an episode, there is one copy on disk.</dd></div>
|
|
<div><dt>It does the fetching</dt>
|
|
<dd>Feeds are checked on a schedule and new episodes download on their own, filtered by keyword, media type or explicit content. Old files are cleared to stay within the disk space you give it, never one somebody pinned.</dd></div>
|
|
<div><dt>BitTorrent too</dt>
|
|
<dd>A show published as a torrent downloads like any other. iPX joins the swarm, seeds back until the ratio or time you set, and gives up on one that stalls. A slow swarm never holds up the rest.</dd></div>
|
|
<div><dt>Subscribe to a whole list</dt>
|
|
<dd>Give iPX the address of an OPML list and it keeps a folder in step with it, as whoever keeps the list adds and drops shows. Your own subscriptions import and export as OPML too.</dd></div>
|
|
<div><dt>DeadAir</dt>
|
|
<dd>Turn it on for a show and iPX plays it without its long silences, leaving the pause you choose. The original file stays as it is.</dd></div>
|
|
<div><dt>A shared directory</dt>
|
|
<dd>iPX servers can share the public shows their people follow. Browse it to find something new, and subscribe in one click from your own server.</dd></div>
|
|
<div><dt>On your phone</dt>
|
|
<dd>Add it to your home screen and it opens like an app, with the same lists and the same place in each episode.</dd></div>
|
|
<div><dt>Blogs too</dt>
|
|
<dd>Any RSS or Atom feed works, so the blogs you read sit beside the shows you listen to, each with its own read and unread.</dd></div>

<p>iPodderX was one of the first podcatchers, a Mac app by Ray Slakinski and August Trometer, from the year podcasts got their name. iPX is its engine rewritten in Rust for a server, with a page modelled on the original window: the feed list down the side, the episodes in a table, the player along the bottom.</p>
