Also personally I do not prefer to play podcasts with a podcast app. I just want it to download the files to a directory which I then sync with another audio player. Does your app make that workflow easy?

I really appreciate the local-first, self-contained but very portable architecture, with an optional server connection to handle CORS and index and whatnot; that's a really solid approach.

Hopefully this isn't too annoying, but I saw you open-sourced what looks like the backend, do you have any plans/interest to open-source the front end as well, for people who might want to self-host?

It took me about 3 minutes to add to my home screen, export a opml from pocket casts and import it to whatever.

Having offline downloads, ability to adjust playback speed etc is really cool too.

Nice work!

I'm on my phone now, so I'm curious to see how it looks on a browser. Obviously syncing of podcasts / listening positions is not going to work, by design?

The AI search is actually kind of cool for discovering podcasts too, I kind of rolled my eyes a bit when I read it, but it actually worked ok for a query I tried, and I do find it difficult to find new podcasts.

Found a bug:

- Search for a podcast creator

- Click on a result

- A modal will pop up with a list of episodes

- Click the title of the episode

Expected details of that episode. Instead the modal is dismissed and I see the search results again.

Note that if I click View Details to go to the creator page, a similar list of episodes show up and clicking the title of those opens up a modal with episode information as I would expect.
