I know, I know, using Google apps isn't the best, but this was a perfectly good Podcast app with all the features you might want.
Apparently they're moving everything over to YouTube Music, where a lot of the features of Google Podcasts aren't implemented yet.
I've moved over to an app from F-Droid.
Try AntennaPod, it's on F-Droid
I selfhost audiobookshelf for all my podcast needs.
You self hosters are worse than crossfitters and mountaineers, always stretching to find ways to slip it into conversations. Quit making me feel feelings about how I'm not hosting my own cloud services and just using whatever Google shit exists.
Used to use pocket cast instead of this, its great
Pocket Cast is still decent. But they increased the sub prices a lot recently. I was still on an old plan, so I don't know what I'll do when it expires. What bugs me more is podcast releasing exclusively on certain platforms. Congratulations, you just reinvented radio
I memba when a podcast was an mp3 scraped from an rss feed. Enshitification catches all in the end. 😞
I don't really understand how they consistently manage to screw things up. And they always say that the features are coming, but they never do.
I'm still bitter over Inbox.
I used to be excited about new things from Google. Tried to get into every beta, downloaded the newest released apps etc. But not anymore.
I just read about tasks being removed from Google Keep. Then the feature removal from nest hubs. Do they have a unified strategy at all? Or is it just the whims of a manager's daily musings that drive what development does?
It’s a company culture thing. You’re not rewarded for maintaining or finishing products. You are rewarded for starting new ones.
Man, Inbox was so good. I still start typing "inbox" into the address bar to get to my emails.
There's still no better email client than inbox. It was so fucking good
