Repositioning Podscan: From Monitoring to Data Platform
Briefly

Following insights from MicroConf, Podscan.fm is shifting its focus from alerting and monitoring features to a comprehensive podcast database. This change is based on observed customer interactions, notably increased API usage indicating a strong demand for data access. With over 18 million transcribed episodes, many users have requested direct data exports, demonstrating the value placed on this information. The pivot emphasizes two key principles: Data Agility for faster data availability and Data Fidelity for enhanced reliability, shaping development priorities around these customer needs.
I've watched how customers interact with Podscan, and the signs have been increasingly clear. More and more customers are intensively using the API to access our data.
This repositioning isn't just about how we present Podscan to the world. It's about what we prioritize in development and where we focus our resources.
The shift centers around two key principles: Data Agility - Making sure data is available faster, and Data Fidelity - Ensuring data is better and more reliable.
When customers are asking for direct access to that kind of data volume, they're telling you something essential about what they value.
