Description
MrMattyPlays approached me in late 2019 to extend the existing website for H.A.M. Radio Podcast to support a new podcast he was launching. The new podcast, BF-GF-AFK, was a gaming podcast that would be distributed on iTunes and other platforms. The website needed to support the distribution of the podcast and provide basic metrics similarly to H.A.M. Radio Podcast.
The conversion included a rebranding to "AzuleCast" and was intended to be released as FOSS. A part of this project was the conversion of the existing code to use Laravel and vanilla Javascript. The expanded functionality allowed for individual podcast feeds on the same platform, as well as the ability to add new podcasts in the future and internal member registration.
The project was later abandoned in 2020 due to the cancellation of the podcast at the start of the COVID-19 pandemic and the FOSS release was put on hold indefinitely.
