every time i listen to Podnews Weekly Review and they talk about oh there isn't a good podcast app for this and for that. whatever episode im listening to right now for testing stuff. they talk about will we see a video first apple tv podcast app.

and i get an insane feeling in me that i cant even describe. probably excitement.

I am actually really happy i didn't rush and shit out a crap app for podcast show like i tried doing last year.

If anyone remembers Poddy joke from the board room in February or whenever that was.

@samsethi@podcastindex.social i wasnt saying you need to host the podcasts. i was trying to say i didn't think this was the "fault" of truefans. Using Fountain to try and stream or boost shows not hosted on truefans. probably should not have included not using truefans anymore in the original post.

@samsethi@podcastindex.social yea i kinda assumed that. which is why i started with react native from the start. or. not really. i had similar problems with the shitty old bouncepad version too.

@samsethi@podcastindex.social the pause and unpause buttons in that media player on the lockscreen would also not work. so i would have to unlock the phone and then it would either start playing again on its own. or need to press the button and wait for it to buffer again. that was my dealbreaker. and im so sad because of it. i really wanted to like it

@samsethi@podcastindex.social genuine main reason why i stopped using truefans. part of it was i found the layout really confusing. it always felt i couldn't just see newest episodes. but that was ok. the big reason was, i walk around listening with airpods on iphone. with the app store version of truefans. press the airpods to pause the podcast because i need to think or someone talks to me. and then press them again to unpause and it never ever does. it works if you pause and unpause within couple seconds.

@samsethi@podcastindex.social well no i was using fountain for this. and neither podcasting 2.0 or podnews are hosted on truefans right. i tried listening live to 2.0 on truefans but i realised i didnt have sats on it anymore. but i couldnt charge sats onto it. so i tried boosting with fountain.

This weeks “how dead does boosting/streaming feel”.

Idunno. Didn’t fully work for podcasting 2.0.

What’s weirder though is on podnews it’s showing 40 splits. And every address is in it like 8 times.

That’s better than last week where it refused to stream sats to pwr entirely.

Yes my attempt at using TrueFans as daily driver podcast app has also failed.

@adam@podcastindex.social @rademaker@podcastindex.social through Claude code? The terminal app? Or again with copy and paste? ChatGPT annoyingly is better at code than Claude. Claude is better at design. Claude is not incapable of doing good code but it’s just drunk. Friendly and does its best but just forgets stuff and confuses itself.

@adam@podcastindex.social @rademaker@podcastindex.social claude has a 20, 100 and a 200 usd plan. you get 20x the value with the 200 usd plan. so actually its subsidised by the cheaper tiers and you get way more. Anthropic sucks though. opencode used to have a oauth integration with claude so you could use your claude max sub inside of open code. but they got threatened and turned that off in opencode. even though it says you are allowed to use for stuff, just not for business reasons.openai explicitly allow using your sub in opencode

Don’t know if there’s a difference to vibe coding. Or maybe it’s the term for when you have learned what each model is good at, what each harness is good for and how to talk to each model. After you built an intuition.

The proper term is “agentic engineering”
