I was looking for a TUI modern podcast manager, with support for syncing with the gpodder API, therefore allowing synchronization with Android clients such as AntennaPod. shellcaster was unmaintained and relatively easy to extend (huge thanks to the original author), therefore I aimed at fixing known bugs and adding the features that seemed more important. There is a TODO in the repo, which should be done as soon as I get some feedback from the community.

As far I know I am the only one using hullcaster as a daily driver (for archlinux people, AUR package hullcaster-git). Still, it should work as is in most linux environments.

For people coming from shellcaster, unfortunately I had to make too many breaking changes, therefore it is better to just make a clean install.

Feel free to try it and submit the issues you find. This is my first project using rust therefore there is surely space for improvements in many places.
