Marco.org

@marco_org what is considered frequently? Some master feeds get updates pretty often.

@rjonesy @marco_org @marcoarment Pocketcast and Instacast both use server-side fetching. Instacast more recently, pocketcast since the start

@rjonesy Which app is best or which stance is best?

@rjonesy I like personally use Pocketcast, Instacast is great too, just a matter of preference in terms of how each app handles details.

@rjonesy You might be more comfortable with Instacast, it looks like Podcast.app. A good article comparing the 2 https://beautifulpixels.com/iphone/podcatchers-instacast-4-pocket-casts-4/ …

@rjonesy I've heard its buggy, I thought they fixed most of it recently. Haven't used it in a while tho :)

@rjonesy Yeah, I think thats a symptom of building upon an aging code base for 3 yrs, Pocketcast 4 was completely redone.

@rjonesy But people still seem to like it, last I heard its what Merlin uses.

@rjonesy I understand why it would be scary to do that though, the longer you wait the harder it is to throw out. Huge risk and investment.

@rjonesy But obviously necessary when you're plugging holes
