Any plans to make an Electron or Tauri version?

Also personally I do not prefer to play podcasts with a podcast app. I just want it to download the files to a directory which I then sync with another audio player. Does your app make that workflow easy?

I made something for pretty much this use case[0] - it probably has _quirks_ because I'm the only user I know of, but it is free :)

Not at the moment but I've been meaning to dig into stuff like this.

Fun sidenote, what you're describing is how the first podcast apps worked back in the day!
