A React app using a Rails API for finding new podcasts. Try it here.

Here is how it currently works:

• Enter some podcasts you like, which are autocompleted and fetched using the iTunes search api
• On each podcast page on iTunes, there is a section listeners also subscribed to with 5 podcasts
• The Rails backend scrapes the 5 related podcasts for each podcast you list in the search bar
• The related podcasts are ordered by number of relations to your podcasts (i.e. the number of scraped pages they appear on), and the top 5 most related are displayed
• The goal is to recommend a podcast that best fits the set you listed

TODO:

• Scrape all podcast relations data and store in a Neo4j graph database, so that 2nd, 3rd, etc degree relations can be considered, also speeding up the api request
