Look, I know beggars can't be choosers, but with the impending demise of Google podcasts, I'm looking for a new podcast player. I don't understand why RSS readers in 2024 don't turn podcast items into little embedded me player widgets.

#42The title is a bit misleading, I expected a desktop app or similar, but it is a mobile-only app (android+ios).
I was hoping for a self hosted copy of The Old Reader.
It’s technically entirely possible to do this with Kotlin WASM support. I was thinking about it a couple days ago. Maybe a fun experiment to try out.

#43Wish it would connect with feedbin. I don't wanna import opml and have feedbin filled with unreads
I do have plans to support integrations/3rd party services.

#44Does it also import folders when importing from a OPML file?
Not at the moment. I am currently working on labels/folders support. So, hopefully I can finish it in next couple of weeks
Not having folders is a deal-breaker, all other things look great.
I'm ready to give feedly the boot.

#45Netnewswire works great for me, folders included too
I tried it out briefly on my Mac but I didn't like it as much as I like Reeder. Granted, Reeder costs $10 to NetNewsWire's $0, but I still consider it excellent value for the money.

I've been happy with Pocket Casts on both Android and iOS. There's also a web player, but I rarely use it these days.

#47I think you should be more specific what multiplatform means in the project description. i.e iOS and Android

I went from Pocket Casts to open-sourced AntennaPod, and I highly recommend it. It's available on F-Droid.

#49I think I'll wait for an F-Droid release before trying this: https://github.com/msasikanth/twine/issues/38 I currently use Nextcloud News, but it's a bit slow (especially with my 50k+ unread items), and doesn't support dynamically ranked feeds, only chronological ones. It's nice having read status synced across devices, though.
Can Nextcloud News scrape the full article text if its not included in the feed?

Could you describe what it was that made you switch?
