Thanks @iangreenleaf for that overview of use-cases. Really helpful! I hope that for the less tech-savvy someone will soon implement [FeedDirectory.org as a possible alternative for gpodder.net](https://forum.antennapod.org/t/feeddirectory-org-as-a-possible-alternative-for-gpodder-net/663)

Re auto-backup on GitHub:

- 1899 is confusing to be honest. We should update the title to reflect the Google nature of it. But actually I’m wondering if we shouldn’t close it, given that for many users the AP database will be [too big](https://github.com/AntennaPod/AntennaPod/issues/1899#issuecomment-735299841) to sync with Google’s service. @ByteHamster?
- [4850](https://github.com/AntennaPod/AntennaPod/issues/4850) talks of backup improvements, including automation. In fact I think it is only about auto-backup, and it’s title should be updated to reflect that.
