## Motivation
The podcasting ecosystem is decentralized by nature: you can create your podcast
as an RSS file, publish it on the web and have it shared everywhere online.
It is in fact one of the only media to have stayed this way for a long time.
As usages are evolving, more and more people are getting into podcasts: whether
it is creators finding new ways to share their ideas, or listeners in the search
for better content.
With podcasting becoming more widely used, some companies are trying to shift it
towards a more controlled and centralized medium.
Castopod was created in an effort to provide an open and sustainable alternative
to hosting your podcasts, promoting decentralization to ensure that podcasters
creativity can express itself.
This project is pushed by the open-source community, and specifically by the
[Fediverse](https://fediverse.party/en/fediverse/) and
[Podcasting 2.0](https://podcastindex.org/) movements.
## Jämförelse med andra lösningar
We believe that a solution is not necessarily right for everyone, it highly
depends on your needs. So, here are comparisons with other tools to help you to
gauge whether Castopod is the right fit for you.
### Castopod vs Wordpress
Castopod is often referred to as "the Wordpress for podcasts" because of the
similarities between the two. In some ways this is true. And actually, Castopod
was greatly inspired by the Wordpress ecosystem, seeing the ease of adoption
from the community and the number of websites running it.
Just like Wordpress, Castopod is free & open source, built using PHP with a
MySQL database and is packaged in a way that you can easily install on most web
servers.
Wordpress is a great way to create your website and extend it with plugins to
get what you want. It is a full fledged CMS that helps you get any type of
website online.
On the other hand, Castopod is meant to address the podcasters needs
specifically, focusing on podcasting, and nothing else. You don't need any
plugin to get you started on your podcasting journey.
This allows optimizing the processes specific to podcasting: ranging from the
creation of your podcasts and the publication of new episodes all the way to
broadcasting, marketing and analytics.
Finally, depending on your needs, Wordpress and Castopod can even live side by
side as they share the same requirements!
### Castopod vs Funkwhale
Funkwhale is a self-hosted, modern free and open-source music server. Just as
Castopod, Funkwhale is on the fediverse, a decentralized social network allowing
interoperability between the two.
Funkwhale was initially built around music. And later on, as the project
evolved, the ability to host podcasts was introduced.
Unlike Funkwhale, Castopod has been designed and built around podcasting
exclusively. This allows easier implementation for features related to the
podcasting ecosystem, such as the podcasting 2.0 features (transcripts,
chapters, locations, persons, …).
So, you should probably use Funkwhale if you want to host your music, and use
Castopod if you want to host your podcasts.
### Castopod vs andra podcast värdar
There are many solutions for you to host your podcasts, some of which are really
great and [a lot of them](https://podcastindex.org/apps) are jumping into the
Podcasting 2.0 wagon just like Castopod!
Each of these solutions differ from one another, you may compare with the
[list of features](#features).
That being said, there are two main differences with other podcasting solutions:
- Castopod kan vara själv värd och är den enda lösningen som gör att du kan
hålla full kontroll över vad du producerar. Dessutom, eftersom det är öppen
källkod, kan du även anpassa det som du vill.
- Castopod är den enda lösningen som för närvarande integrerar både ett
decentraliserat socialt nätverk med ActivityPub samt många av podcasting 2.
funktioner, i hopp om att överbrygga gapet mellan de två.
