Functionality wise, the official one works no problem. It’s the UI. I’m a visual person and like eye candy. I liked how the iOS app Still looked, so I thought why not? Wanted to have fun with it. That’s all :)

I’ve been using the official ABS app in Android for a while now and am curious what exactly makes it fall short?
I’m a software developer and it would have to be severely lacking for me to invest the time in sitting down and create a new one, even with AI tools. But that may be more of a disadvantage.
Sounds cool though, I haven’t seen Still and it would be nice with some screenshots.

I can understand that. Even coming up on my first decade working as a dev I still love it an occasionally do some projects on my spare time. LLMs have made hobby projects so much more achievable and there’s something very rewarding being able to make something yourself.
Thanks for the screenshots, looks good!

Thank you and absolutely. And I feel even better when the people I share my work with, like it.

The podcast playback is sorely lacking. It can’t play more than one episode without having to select the episode, which makes playlists kinda pointless unless it’s just following one storyline in a podcast that runs more than one concurrently. It also doesn’t seem to support defaulting listing order other than newest, and the next episode is always the latest, despite the current playback order

Oh, I don’t listen to podcasts so I wasn’t aware it was this lacking. Understandable wanting something else in that case.
