I've tried #fountain twice. I want to do something simple - import my podcast list from Antennapod via OPML. Maybe I need to create some kind of cloud account. Maybe I need to run OEM android instead of GrapheneOS. Maybe I need to run Google Surveillance Framework. Maybe the app expects me to do all three. I don't know. The import function just completely fails, the app craps out and, so far, I haven't found any explanation or solution

It's definitely not intuitive when an app craps out trying to perform one of the most basic functions and there is no error message, hint, help or trace to provide some clue.

Having said that, this stuff is all Beta-level (or worse) and we're all just in it for the ride and learning as we go. Or that's at least how I look at it. Coming up with great app ideas is easy. Building robust apps is hard, and takes time. I suspect it will get better.

I am a little, not terribly but a little, disappointed that I haven't seen any kind of comment from #fountain. But that's the way it goes sometimes.

For me, at random times when skipping back, instead of skipping back the set amount it skips somewhere to the very begining of an episode.
