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 @ysotomayor Sorry, there will be more direct VoiceOver access to chapters in the next build.

@overcastfm @SteveSawczyn @ysotomayor The TestFlight version is tons better already. Thank you so much for the quick responses.

@JeffBishop @overcastfm @SteveSawczyn Ok, extra props to Marco. That was fast. Bug fix today fixed all the issues I had. NOW chapters work again, and I can fully enjoy the new app.

@ysotomayor @JeffBishop @overcastfm Wow it’s fixed? I will have to get that update. I was working on a blog post with the current accessibility issues, Marco’s apparently fixing them faster than I can write them.
