Thanks, good to know. I can definitely add a frontend web app as an option as well. The reason I started with an app is because it was makes it easier (from the user's perspective) to import your podcast subscription from your existing podcast app ie) one or two button clicks vs having to save the file on your device and import into the web app.
I say using it like a "staging" area would be awesome. A lot of stuff just isn't fun to manage from a phone it would be awesome if I could go to the site, do the things that I need to do to manage everything and find stuff, then move to my phone.
Well, I don't have an iphone and I went to the site hoping to find details and reviews of podcasts. I left disappointed.
Yeah there's absolutely no way I'm going to use something like this if it doesn't have a web interface.
Nope. Came to say this. Could easily be a PWA, I just don't like installing apps anymore. Shame, it looks like something I'd be interested in.
You're not alone I was totally disappointed that there was no website component as well. I also am confused with the usage of Echo. This has nothing to do with the Amazon Echo and there are a lot of words to choose from so why not pick something that is unique? Especially since it's handling a typically audio format that the Echo would be entirely capable of playing.
I also prefer a website - I closed the tab when I noticed it was app only.
Can I ask why? I’m a little baffled, maybe I’m just brainwashed that everyone loves apps because they use mobile devices more often. Especially for listening.
I'm not the parent, but I can answer why I feel the same way. It's a lot easier to manage some things on a website, especially if you have dozens of podcasts as I do.
GoodReads has a website and it's perfectly usable for doing everything they provide as a service. Also, this is not a listening app, by the way, according to the author, so there goes that point.
Ah okay, I assumed that it would link to the podcasts.
