Indie Dev Builds Podcast Player with Racket and Swift
2025-01-27
An indie developer built an iOS podcast player called Podcatcher, now live on the App Store. Developed using Racket and Swift, Podcatcher boasts features like an equalizer, silence trimming, and variable speed playback. It's free, ad-free, and privacy-focused, prioritizing local data storage. The developer also detailed improvements made to Racket and several open-source libraries during development, including performance boosts to the XML library and enhanced redirect handling in the HTTP library. While cross-device syncing and UI enhancements are planned for future releases, the app already provides a solid listening experience.
