  • The writer uses the terms “locked out” and “frozen”, but also says that she is not allowed to share documents any longer and maybe unable to access her documents from a tablet and a phone, but perhaps still from a laptop? (The article reads like a fucken drama piece instead of… you know… actual journalism).

    If she has any type of access, it seems like it is very easy to fix permanently:

    • Download documents.
    • Register a domain.
    • Get a hosted Wordpress or some other foolproof CMS.
    • Put documents there.

    Don’t rely on a free service for something that has value you.






  • This has huge potential. What I personally look for in a podcast solution is:

    • Web/desktop player
    • Sync between players (down to seconds)
    • Organize subscribed podcasts with folders/tags
    • Per podcast/folder/tag settings for “automatically add to queue”
    • Some way of dealing with older (backlog) episodes (built-in or via an API)

    For now, I’m using Pocketcasts which pretty much does what I need, except for handling the backlog, which I do with a homemade python-script that adds backlog episodes to my playlist whenever it has less than 4 hours of playtime left, using Pocketcast’s web player REST API. The result is an endless playlist where newly released episodes are played within a few hours and older episodes are sprinkled on with no real need for micro-managing episodes in the playlist.

    It looks like web/desktop players and sync is already in scope, but are there any “advanced” podcast organization features on your roadmap?
