Under the Hood: Database, Stability, and Spotify Links

March and April were about stability, performance, and quality-of-life improvements that make day-to-day podcast management smoother.

Features

  • Spotify for Podcasters links โ€” Your Spotify podcast ID now links directly to Spotify for Podcasters, making it easier to manage your presence there.
  • Automatic slug redirects โ€” Changed your podcast's URL slug? Old URLs now redirect automatically so existing links don't break.

Performance

  • Faster page loads โ€” Added missing database indexes across several key tables, noticeably improving load times throughout the app.
  • Database cleanup โ€” Removed unused legacy tables to keep things lean.

Fixes

  • Hardened RSS feeds against potential XSS vulnerabilities.
  • Fixed errors when switching between plans.
  • Fixed MP3 files that could get stuck in processing.
  • Fixed episode note deletion.
