@edfloreshz@hachyderm.io Please don't take this the wrong way - but IMO it's because #apple is about the least welcoming community for new developers every. They practically face stab you as you walk in the door.

  • XCode isn't accessible at all
  • You're locked to their tools on their platform - NO exceptions
  • You have to pay a yearly danegeld to write and deploy code to your own mobile devices

It's awful. I pay the $100 / year so I can deploy more accessible applications on my iPhone but I'm NOT happy about it.

@feoh Well I'm pretty pleased with the initial cut. The only nut that proved impossible (for now) to crack is that Apple uses FairPlay encryption for their paid content streams, so those won't work with this player. But I'm only subbed to a couple paid podcasts anyway so I can suffer with the web player for those but enjoy my home-grown TUI goodness for the rest :)
