I'm not opinionated, honest.
- website layout needs work (colours, hard edges, boxy, very functional rather than aesthetic)
- it wasn't immediately apparent where I add podcasts
--- I suggest a first-time logged-in start page with a big add podcast button
--- perhaps an 'add featured podcasts' instead of auto-populating
- In the "/podcasts/add": Add Podcasts button -- instead of the note warning not to click more than once, use javascript to disable and change text on button once clicked
--- after leaving "/podcasts/add" to grind for 15 minutes, it didn't refresh to a completion page. Either put one in, or say that castroller is working in the background.
- No sidebar link for 'My Episodes' :
http://castroller.com/<username>/episodes
- can't log in on firefox 3b5, windows. Login window wouldn't pop up. (FF 3.0 rc1 on mac works ok)
- can't make my own channel easily
--- had to go to an individual podcast, then select add to channel
--- expected: go to "Your Channels", then some kind of "New Channel" button there.
--- suggest a (private?) default channel... having no channels should be an option for those who aren't interested in classification
--- it's possible that could be the confusion with the missing "My Episodes" link -- with no channels, the episodes get lost.
And some feature suggestions:
- allow more control over the feed provided to external programs
- xml feed should sync up with what's displayed on castroller
- allow transcoding of audio/video content (might have to make this a "pro" feature, as it'll take some storage)
Also, submitting feedback using the site doesn't work.</username>
