Comment on Pinepods mobile apps and a request for help

Looks great, and I’m fully supportive of this.

However, I can’t understand the use case, and the part I can’t wrap my head around is why the server part is required… What differentiates pinepods from, say, antennapod from a functional standpoint?

For me it’s syncing between devices, I listen on my PC and on my smartphone. I’ve been using PocketCasts for years but eventually ditched it and haven’t found something to properly replace it. GPodder is an option but when I tried some years ago it didn’t really work. I’ve been looking for something like PinePods for quite a while

Syncing from device to device. If you’d like to archive podcast episodes, say on like a NAS. Syncing of podcasts and episodes between apps and devices.

If you prefer to use one device for podcasts them Antennapods might be a good fit for you.

For me personally, not having to wait for podcast feeds to update on my local device alone is enough to sell Pinepods… Let alone the other benefits. Granted I’m biased.

  Makes sense, thank you.
