I think a dedicated homepage can be build for Doughnut and GitHub Pages can be an ideal hosting option.

The homepage can be used to introduce main features of Doughnut, guide users to download and serve static files like appcast.xml. Currently we serve appcast.xml with raw.githubusercontent.com, which has a rate limit and doesn't go through CDN.

I've made a start on designing a mini website for Doughnut. As most similar app websites do, I'd like to have a simple features and selling points section.

@GetToSet and @woj-tek, what would you say are the main selling points / reasons to use / features of Doughnut (especially version 2)? I'm interested to know your thoughts.

For me it was: sane, clear, clean and minimalistic UI (I like being able to quickly glance over the UI and know if I have new episodes and in which feeds), native (Swift) and open-source. I tried using Podcasts.app and it was just driving me nuts (same with majority of other Apple-made applications ;) ). For context, on Windows back in the days I was an avid fan and user of foobar2000.

From my point of view, the primary aspects that distinguish Doughnut from other podcatchers are:

  • It's free and open-source.
  • It's written with native technologies that utilize the latest macOS features. It's fast and intuitive compared to front-end based counterparts.
  • It's clean and open, providing maximum control to the local library.
