Kasts: Podcast Support
Kasts is a convergent podcast player designed using the Kirigami framework. It works both on desktop and mobile devices. Kasts uses the Syndication library to parse RSS/Atom feeds. Currently Kasts has a standard podcast support that enables users to play the media content and display its metadata by parsing the contents of an RSS feed.
The UI of Kasts is pretty intuitive and is more than usable, the app to an extent does not have a very convergent UI. This will be improved upon throughout the timeline by using the best practices for creating convergent apps.
Even though the app is able to fetch media using XML documents, it does not yet support searching podcasts from the internet. There are several podcasting web service APIs on the internet that discover new and interesting podcasts. We can display the search results by initiating a search request by exposing the API.
