Was hoping to see if any podcast listeners/Android users might be interested in contributing to something like this. I’m an avid podcast listener, and after Google Podcast shut down, the other options have really left something to be desired. I, of course, wouldn’t object to the app also being on IOS, but they already have Apple Podcast, which I imagine negates the need for it.
I’m not too familiar with how other podcast apps work, but I assume there are APIs they can consume to get podcast data. I also assume everything else regarding a user’s favorites, listening history, etc., can be saved locally on the device to avoid hosting costs.
I’m a recent CS grad looking for my first SWE job. Thought this could be a good introduction to open source for myself and maybe anyone else in a similar position who has an interest in creating a piece of software like this.
If such a project already exists, I’d also be glad to contribute to it.
