Had a very busy week and wrote almost no code at all this week so far. 😠I changed my plans again though I think. Because of @samsethi telling me to do a podcast player myself. My current project already is one feature split off from another project. And I realised I can make a player webapp myself by again splitting out and modifying a feature from the thing I am working on now.

@silas welcome to the madness of app development. I actually didn't mean for you to write an app. You said you disagreed with my use of the term Open RSS and open standards to build TrueFans. So I sarcastically said if you think its that easy go write an app yourself.I was trying to point out how difficult it is trying to write an app that supports ALL of the podcasting 2.0 tags and micropayments which is cross platform and not a proprietary platform.Thanks for the boost last week ;-)

@samsethi I did disagree but now I get it. There's another boost for you to respond to next episode.I will see what I am gonna do. For my actual project I need to make a player page anyways. So getting some general overview or library view, following shows and notifications set up maybe payments set up.. Yes that's a lot of work. But almost it's a logical thing to do anyways.

@samsethi I need to learn about PWAs I guess. Is truefans supposed to work without Internet? Maybe Thats a dumb question. I don't know yet if or how like a webapp can be stored on the device itself.Most of the time when listening to podcasts I'm in a random forest or the edge of town with no or super slow Internet and whenever I tried using truefans it didn't load or didn't work well. Presumably because of the Internet connection

@silas TrueFans can work offline. We only recently added this function. You can now download episodes then go offline. We create an offline playlist with all the episodes you have picked. The offline episodes are stored in the IndexDB in your browser. We also synch between the mobile and desktop.

@samsethi well I turned off the Internet connection and opened it and it just shows the truefans logo and nothing else. For like 2 minutes and the I turned Internet on again and it loaded normally.Same thing as last 2 weeks I think when I tried using it on walks.No pressure or negative feelings from my side.

@samsethi oh yea that works. With my brain I could never remember to open an app before I exit mobile network coverage.But good you are working on it.Is it gonna keep state of when you listen? When I used it last time it didn't do that.. I saw streaming though in an area with super crap coverage

@samsethi you know for some reason I thought making a PWA would be easier than a native app. That's not true though is it. Might actually make it a bit harder??

@silas @samsethi Way harder. Now see how it looks and functions on Safari vs Chrome vs Firefox, and try supporting all the users that use all the different browsers. PWAs are a PITA (but I love them)
