OvercastJul 16, 2024

Today is Overcast's 10th birthday, and to celebrate, I'm launching a major rewrite of the app: https://marco.org/2024/07/16/overcast-rewrite

The first decade has been great, and this new foundation brings it into the next one!

(Spoiler alert: It's fast. REALLY fast. And there's more coming soon.)

Ten years of Overcast: A new foundation – Marco.org

@overcastfm @marcoarment probably not looking at the right place, but it seems like I can't navigate by chapters any more. Running ios 15, voiceover turned on. Otherwise, loving the new app.

@ysotomayor @overcastfm @marcoarment I found it: on the now playing screen, choose the “info” button, then there’s a chapters button which says the number of chapters, e.g. “10 chapters button” in the podcast I’m currently playing. From there you can navigate like a boss. :)

@SteveSawczyn @overcastfm @marcoarment Yes, I found it too. But every time I click the chapter, it does not jump to it. Are you seeing that too?

@ysotomayor @overcastfm @marcoarment Ah yes, that seems to not be working. IF the episode is not playing, double tapping on a chapter button just starts it playing at current position. If episode is playing, double tapping chapter button just gets me out of the chapters screen. :(

@SteveSawczyn @overcastfm @marcoarment Just tried it with voiceover turned off. It also dismissed the chapter window. I think this is not a voiceover thing, but a jumping between chapters might be a bit broken.
