Parasocial launched here yesterday as a podcast player. Thank you for the comments and the upvotes. The next major release adds the second social layer, and I would rather shape it with you than announce it as finished.
What is coming:
Public playlists. Any playlist you build in the app can be published as a page anyone can open, follow, and play from, with or without the app.
Curator profiles. A handle, a display name, a short bio, and the playlists you have specifically published as "public". Follow a curator and their new playlists show up in a Curate tab: Following, Curated by You, Discover.
No likes, no comments, no algorithmic feed. Curation is the whole feature: a person with taste pointing at episodes.
