This release cleans up loads of issues with various UI components and really makes Pinepods feel like a daily driver application. Everything is cleaned up and much more even now. The mobile experience is also greatly improved.
Perhaps most excitingly there's now a way to add custom podcast feeds from url in the settings. In addition to that, there's now an official Pinepods news feed! You can subscribe to this feed and get news about Pinepods delivered straight to your normal podcast feed. I will use this delivery method exclusively to inform you about news or updates related to Pinepods. Nothing more. Upon starting up Pinepods and building the database for the first time you will be automatically subscribed to this feed, but if you'd prefer to not get the notifications about updates you can unsubscribe from it just like you would with any other podcast.
If you already have an instance of Pinepods spun up you will not be auto subscribed if you continue using your existing database. In that case you can manually subscribe to it using this url:
