From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Reviving a TUI podcast manager shellcaster -> hullcaster (github.com)

I was looking for a TUI modern podcast manager, with support for syncing with the gpodder API, therefore allowing synchronization with Android clients such as AntennaPod. shellcaster was unmaintained and relatively easy to extend (huge thanks to the original author), therefore I aimed at fixing known bugs and adding the features that seemed more important. There is a TODO in the repo, which should be done as soon as I get some feedback from the community.

As far I know I am the only one using hullcaster as a daily driver (for archlinux people, AUR package hullcaster-git). Still, it should work as is in most linux environments.

For people coming from shellcaster, unfortunately I had to make too many breaking changes, therefore it is better to just make a clean install.

Feel free to try it and submit the issues you find. This is my first project using rust therefore there is surely space for improvements in many places.

I was looking for a good podcast app but everyone had one or two problems. Thanks for this. This is perfect for my use case. Another good day for tui users.

Whoever uses it make sure to like it so that it will on top of forks list and it helps people to know this fork is getting maintained.

Thank you for the kind words may I ask what's ypur env? I am testing it only on Archlinux so it would be useful to know how does it work elsewhere :)
