Podlive is a client for iOS, macOS and tvOS to listen to live streaming podcasts. We currently support all livestreams broadcasting via Ultraschall with Studio Link On Air.
Our backend is a Parse-Server which is used to collect and control podcast meta data, manage push notifications and all marked favorites for each registered user.
If you are not familiar with programming and/or Xcode, you can of course download the latest release of Podlive in the Mac App Store.
The goal to develop this software was a lag of a personal need, at the beginning. It was just a fun and hobby project, and it still is being developed under the same premise.
We really would like to see passionate developers with tons of ideas to improve and push forward this Mac client. And there is just one requirement: I would like to see it Objective-C only.
Please don’t get me wrong, I’m a Swift developer too. But my private passion still is on ObjC. So, Podlive for Mac may be born with the idea in mind to keep ObjC a living language, who knows (naive minded, isn’t it?)...
And for all you Swift fans, the code style of this project looks very familiar. 😉
