  • While I like spotify for music there are three things that bug me about it:

    • Anker.fm ads. Just a rant I hate anker.fm auto injection ads. If you try sleeping to a pod cast it wil go from normal volume TO SHOUTING ABOUT STATEFARM OR DUNKIN. While this issue also occurs on third party podcasting apps spotify dynamically injects a banner ad into podcast art and hyperlinks the ad. I might be overeacting (I hate these kind of deeplink ads). To be clear I don’t mind host read ads like linus sponsor shoutouts but dynamic ad injection is awfull.

    • No chapter support




  • Lemmy is actually interesting as there could be four implementations (or five if you consider none).

    • Standard instant push notifications (you get them in app and out of app)
    • Push notifications only while app is open in forground (example lemmy web ui only has notifications when tab is open)
    • Polled notifications (notifications that occur after preset interval).
    • A combination of the above three (ex: polled notifications in background push in forground)
    • No notifcations at all

    Just some thoughts





  • I love wefwef/voyager. This might not be a normal feature people use but I love wefwef’s deep linking feature (on android). I have a push notification system for lemmy which detects incomming emails from lemmy and uses ntfy to send reddit sync like push notifications. In wefwefs case I can set ntfy to open voyagers inbox directly. Voyager is also nice since opening a unread message (or interacting with it) auto marks it as read (which I don’t believe other clients do for some reason, I could be wrong though).






  • I kinda wonder if sync for lemmy can use a sort of hybrid aproach. For instance when sync for lemmy is in the forground it uses websockets with the lemmy instance to get push notifications. However once the app is exited (or after a predetermined perioed of time) sync could revert back to polled notifications. This is kinda similar to how lemmy web sends push notificaitons when opened as a tab but doesn’t when closed.
