This is kinda odd timing.

I just started using AntennaPod on Monday since I want to switch to FOSS apps as much as possible and also deleted my PocketCasts account completely.

It sucks that there is no such account in my Google Podcasts app, but uninstalled that too. AntennaPod, FTW!

I was surprised to learn that the Pocket Casts apps are open-source (Android GitHub, iOS GitHub).

This is for the older version though, IIRC

Edit: Ah, it seems I missed Automattic acquiring Pocket Casts. Would make sense they're open source, since Automattic is a fully open source company.

Yeah, I'm very glad to see this and it actually makes me more inclined to support them.

AntennaPod

As a (now former) Pocketcasts user, I thank you for letting me know about AntennaPod!

[–] Idefinitelydonotknow 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

You are welcome. Just remember that it haa 95% of the features as PocketCasts, but it is Open Source..

Honestly just wish AntennaPod had a way to easily sync between desktop and mobile. I love the look of it on my tablet but sometimes I like listening while I'm working on my laptop.

Fun fact about Antennapod, if you want to sort new podcast episodes by prioroty, rename the podcast with a number based on your priority for that podcast and then sort the que by podcast title. Now episodes of your favorite podcast will always be up at the top and ready even if a *newer episode of anothet pod is released. Reasons you may do this besides just having a favorite podcast over others is if you listen to timely podcast that you always want to listen to before others that can wait.

Damn, this is so cool!

I cannot wait to try this out.
