#2Uhh is this right? Seems like the vast majority of the main iOS app UI files are all dumped in the same folder along with all the assets. No organization.

#3Absolutely amazing app, by far the best podcast player I've used. The recent update that (finally!) implemented a folder organization system was just the icing on the cake.
Very glad to see it going open source.

#4That's a nice and unexpected bit of news for the day.
I've been using Pocket Casts for awhile, it's indeed a very nice app, and other than the UI tumult from a few years back has been pretty reliable.
I was a bit disappointed recently to discover that it doesn't offer a way to export data from it, which is pretty bad (i.e. your listening history and starred episodes, not your list of subscribed podcasts). Hopefully it being OSS means that's something someone can add (heck I'd look into it myself as I was dreading having to manually extract the data myself or MITM the sync service to do it).

#5I'd be happy if they also open sourced the web app so someone can finally implement their filter/playlist feature over there. It's the main reason I quit using the app a while ago. Being able to sync playlists is such a basic feature.

Is there a similar app that does this?

#7This is one of the few services I subscribe to (Pocket Casts Plus: https://pocketcasts.com/plus/). Happy to hear they're open source now!

I guess knowing that people will criticise your messy code is one of the reasons why people don’t open source more things. It’s nice to have the code open-source even though it’s not perfect.

They have a web client that might be easily scraped.

That’s not necessarily weird. Xcode has its own idea of organization you use that doesn’t need to match the filesystem at all.
If you downloaded and opened it in Xcode it may look well laid out.
(I’d like the ability to turn that off or ‘sync’ the two personally for my projects)
