Reading this made me grin. Pocket Casts is one of the only applications that's survived me bouncing between iOS and Android and back again over the last who-knows-how-many years and I paid for their web player a long time ago, too. I've tried other players and none of them stick; the differences in affordances in something like Castro or Overcast send me back to Pocket Casts every time.
They seem to have had a rough time of it over the last few years, and seeing them end up at Automattic ("land of the misfit web toys") was nice. This is a cherry on top.
- bestham 4y agoSpot on: “the land of the misfit web toys” or “this would have been killed at Google”.
- mturk 4y agoI kind of dislike the "Google graveyard" discourse, but ... I started using Pocketcasts after the demise of Google Listen.
- nzrf 4y agoCan’t agree more with this statement! Definitely on my yearly renew list!
