I did quite a few database upgrades during development and I think it should be okay. Will have a close look at the beta comments on Google Play and the crash reports.
Just fixes something I broke when adding folder support
I would remove the word “basic”. It really is basic but I’m pretty sure users will already like it as-is. Instead of “podcasts”, I would write “subscriptions” - that’s a bit more clear, now that some people use the same word for episodes.
Podcasting 2.0? I think that’s what most users called it on Twitter recently.
Triggering an update on Github is a good thing because it signals that we have acted and are releasing the fixes. Yes it is more updates for the contributors and maintain, but it is a good thing for most people to see the communications when we release.
What does that mean? Read about it before but didn’t find a good definition, I think maybe another term might be more descriptive after all.
What I’m thinking of is the web 2.0 - meaning that there is user generated content but that’s probably not what is meant, is it?
Edit: did some more googling, so there is a podcast that is called “Podcasting 2.0” and another “2.0 Podcast”, when searching for Podcast 2.0 there is one result (third last) which refers to Breeze, an app that facilitates payments to creators. So in the end this is just classical Crowdfunding like Patreon or Steady, is it not?
Podcasting 2.0 is a movement/initiative that’s all about decentralisation and enabling podcasters to do their work independently. I would certainly recommend to listen the Podcasting 2.0 podcast, which explains it all way better and in greater detail. (Simply find it in AntennaPod And I’d recommend to start with the first episode!)
Part of it is the Podcast Namespace, which is a an extension (namespace) to the RSS standard, allowing podcasters to include more information in their feeds. This information can then be used to create new podcasting apps/experiences. The Funding tag is just one of the extra types of information that can be included.
For those active in the Podcasting 2.0 community, this term is an important flag. Using it (rather than something like ‘crowdfunding’) hopefully helps with communication around AntennaPod coming along with the movement.
And I’d recommend to start with the first episode!)
