The main thing i take away is certainly that overcast works just with a homescreen and without a bottom navigation, that is quite interesting indeed. In general i would create a default UX that has queue and a list of all episodes (new on top) and add further customization like seperate inbox, stat…

[image] ueen: the update button in the toolbar needs to go, its unnecessary and there would be better buttons to place, like: So for a while now I’ve been utterly annoyed that I can’t easily refresh the feeds and have to constantly go to hamburger menu and select “update”. Why it was removed…
