Why P-Cast?
Most podcast apps want your email, your data, and a monthly subscription. P-Cast doesn't. Everything — your subscriptions, your listening history, your downloaded episodes — stays on your device. Close the tab and it's all still there next time.

Getting Started
npm install
npm run dev
Deployment
Requires a server runtime (Vercel or similar) for the RSS proxy route. Static hosting won't work.
npm i -g vercel
vercel
Architecture
All data is stored in IndexedDB — no backend database. A server-side proxy handles RSS feed fetching to work around CORS restrictions.
