Hello LaunchIt community ๐Ÿ‘‹ I'm Paul, the founder of Parasocial. I'm a podcast addict. I listen at night in bed, so I need a sleep timer that works. I dig through decades-old archives, so I need audio processing that rescues unmastered tape. I want comedy to stay with comedy and history to stay with history without ever sorting anything by hand. I want my episodes on my phone the second they are published, not after six hours of refreshing. I've paid for every other player, and none of them kept up with my needs. So I built Parasocial, because podcasts should be a joy to listen to. We fixed everything you hate about podcast players. We built a player that checks every box, and we won't stop there. Three things no other player does: โšก๏ธ Speedy Network Notifications. Your favorite show drops at the same time every day, and your player still finds out hours later. Ours doesn't wait. Our server is told the moment a show publishes, so the episode is on your device, downloaded for offline listening. No more endless refreshing, no six-hour polling wall. ๐Ÿ”– Bookmarks and tags, not stars. Fifteen years of listening and I never once found the "favorites" or "stars" useful, so we killed them. Save the episodes you love with tags, then grab them and share them in seconds. Organize the shows you love. ๐Ÿ† Parasocial: Share your parasocial relationship with friends, earn superlatives, and share clips or whole shows with deep links for Parasocial users and live weblinks for Paranons. Plus everything else you'd expect from a top-tier player: ๐Ÿš€ Fast - your library reads from a database on the device, not the network, so tens of thousands of episodes stay instant ๐Ÿ”Ž Better Search - one field searches your own library first and tens of thousands of published shows across every network โœ… Organized - smart playlists built from rules, per-show priorities, and manual overrides that don't break the rule that built the list. ๐ŸŽง Trim Gaps and Studio Sound - trim the gaps i
