Support for desktop version #111

Open mrkrash opened 6 months ago

First of all, congratulations on the work done. I discovered this application while searching for cross-platform opensource podcast players. Unfortunately, there is no support for macos (which I unfortunately use for work) and I thought: maybe it is possible to extend support.

If possible, I would like to try my hand at it, starting perhaps with some minor bugs.

Hi @mrkrash,

A desktop version is something I would very much like to do and it's on the list for sometime in the future, but it's currently buried under a pile of other tasks. You can install Anytime on MacOS via the App Store (on M1/2 Macs at least as you can install iPhone apps on them), but it's not the best experience as it looks like a blown up phone app.

If this is something that interests you, yes please do take a look. If you want to start with some minor bugs, that would be fantastic and there are few 'Good first issue' ones you can pick from, or if you've found some bugs you wish to fix please do. There is a contributing guide available here.

I would also mention that there is another great podcast app with a very responsive developer called MusicPod. It's aimed at the desktop and specifically Ubuntu, but I believe there are plans to extend this to other desktops.

Thank you.

Hi @amugofjava,

thank you for your clarity. I have read the contribution guide and I think I will start with some minor bugs so that I can get an idea. I am not a fan of Ubuntu but I will also take a look at MusicPod.
