I'm currently building an audiobook app. I've considered adding podcast (and even music) support, but wonder if this is something people actually want bundled together or would prefer tailored experiences.
I agree, focus on the audiobooks. That being said, I would love an app that can detect and skip the awful built in ads they've added to podcasts...
It's especially jarring because the ads are at maximum volume.
I wouldn't want them bundled together. Focus on one thing - when I want to listen to an audio book I'm not after a podcast or music. I have other apps for that.
The canonical advice would be to focus on one thing first and make sure you're doing it well and users want it, then expand.
Can I follow your project somewhere?
It's still really early and I'm currently using some AGPL libraries which means I can't distribute without also being AGPL. I haven't been able to find a good way to make money on an app while releasing it open source. Would love to figure out a way to do both.
