As #DeníkN changed their podcast format and moved most of it behind paywall and I like to listen to it on my bike commute to work, I had to change the way I consume #podcasts and also updated the way I consume #RSS articles.
Here's what works for me for now 🧵

👍 more features
👍 bigger client support
👍 bigger development activity
👍 better look.
I use this to consume #rss in form of links to content:
📰 new articles on my favourite media
📰 update news of several softwares
📰 read city hall info desk
📰 discover new youtube videos on my favourite channels
📰 discover new episodes of my favourite TV shows on iVysílání (sadly not natively, but using rss bridge)

It is not perfect, but it works for now.
It looks nice, but UX and readability needs improvements.
I tried even several paid apps, but they where all worse than this fully free and opensource app.

It can be installed from #flathub and also synchronizes with #FreshRSS .
I will mostly use the FreshRSS web interface, but on my tesing #Oneplus6 phone with #PostmarketOS it is my number one choice.

So I installed separate #RSS stack for podcasts only.

This api can be used by client apps to synchornize
🔄 list of subscrubed feeds
🔄 listening state of each episode

in reply to Štěpán Škorpil • • •Then there is another Next Cloud extension: #RePod .
It is a web client to the gPodder api, so I can list, subscribe and listen to all the episodes in the nextcloud web interface. That works nice.

in reply to Štěpán Škorpil • • •The last piece of the puzzle is the android podcast client. Here the #AntennaPod does a really nice job.
It has all I need:
🎙️synchronizes everything with gPodder api
🎙️predownloads new episodes
🎙️has queue of episodes
