ui refresh of Sauntercast (still uploading some older walks) sauntercast.henryzoo.com

original post! now i'm wondering if it's interesting to make it a renderer for paths and make a lexicon for it and be able to view and share walks on atproto? would anyone want to contribute or already existing things for that (i assume there's a location/POI version already out there too)

not sure how appview hosting works in terms of costs: for the route/json probably needs to be a blob similar to videos? currently for audio, i link to the podcast mp3 on a cdn so not sure about either

ok i'm confused with blobs, i guess you can't use them in a PDS for audio? since it's not a cdn and can't seek? is there an approach to this or does someone just have to pay to host in an appview or use the podcast host as url (what i'm doing now)?

why wouldn't you be able to seek if it's not on a CDN? bsky doesn't do any kind of transcoding for audio (unlike video) bc they don't need it for their appview, but this article states they do indeed use a CDN and transcode on-the-fly for video: atproto.com/guides/video...

happy to be wrong! it didn't let me seek the file and downloading the file was really slow? it doesn't support range requests? so it seems like i'd need a separate backend like R2 etc or just use the podcast host url
