Castro Developer on Shipping New Features
Posted by Dustin Bluck on Sep 25, 2024, on castro.fm:
Castro isn’t a museum. We have to ship new features. The product has been stagnant for too long, and we can hardly say it’s the best app for listening to podcasts on iOS when it still lacks basic features like device sync. We also can’t sit in a room and rewrite the app from scratch for 6-12 months while the product remains stagnant. Even if we could, that’s not a good way to ship software. Full rewrites rarely turn out to be a good idea.
I rather live in a world in which Castro iterates features — and I risk some affecting my workflow — than one in which my favorite podcast player just slowly goes away.
