Show HN: Cardo - Open Source Desktop Podcast Client

Hi, I'm an amateur developer from Spain. I have released this desktop podcast client that works on Windows, Mac and Linux.

It's a modest project, but it might be useful for you, it has syncing capabilities with Antennapod, Kasts, Repod or other clients. You can manage your subscriptions, queue episodes and even download them to listen to later.

I look forward to hearing your thoughts.

This looks nice and lightweight, it would be sweet to have the possibility to import an OPML file which is what most of the podcast services let you export.

EDIT: Noticed a little bug on Windows, you can't add a podcast while it's playing, at least not by pasting the address, it immediately wipes out the field. Had to pause playback in order to add another.

Thank you for providing AppImages and RPMs! I'll definitely be giving this a roll :-)

As an Antenna Pod user this could be really great. I've been starting to use Audiobookshelf for Podcasts because I haven't had success with syncing in the past, but Antenna Pod is still a better UX so I'd like to be able to use that.

Good luck! What's the difference between MSI and EXE for the Windows installer?

I've been looking for a desktop Podcast Client! GPodder is okay but I was look for something a bit "crispier".

Need to transcribe and skip ads in the podcast ! That would be a killer feature !

Looks like exactly what I've been looking for! Great work!

Do you have any plans to distribute a flatpak version? Especially for single person projects, it can save time on packaging and testing.

Hi, as a Antennapod user this sounds great. Can I sync my current playback position? Last time I tried Gpodder sync it felt very buggy

Hey thanks for making this. I've been looking for something that would sync with Antennapod.

Would be cool to have a sync function that works similar to Gpodders.

Unfamiliar with podcast file formats, but how does it differ from typical audio (mp3, wav, etc.) players?
