Upcoming changes that you should know

Note

Hello podStation users!

In case you have not noticed, I have not implemented new features in podStation in quite a while.

Despite a long list of improvements I'd like to do, the fact is podStation needs an overhaul before I can do any more meaningful improvements to it.

This is in part because it is based on some old stuff, but more important than that: Due to a change in Chrome's browser extension APIs, I must update podStation from Manifest V2 to Manifest V3 until June 2024¹, in case I want to keep podStation alive.

I have started some groundwork² for this in the past, but lost track of it due to other priorities.

If you would like to help, the best way is to boost my motivation by:

• Leaving a review with a comment of encouragement on the Chrome Web Store
• Following and sharing your love for podStation on social media, mentioning one of the following accounts:
  • Mastodon (@podStation@fosstodon.org)
  • Twitter (@podStation_app)
  • Facebook (https://www.facebook.com/podStation)
• Giving it a Start on GitHub (https://github.com/podStation/podStation>)

Wish me luck in this endeavour, I'm not sure yet if I'll be able to make it in time, it is a huge undertaking.
