- You have always had an idea that's been missing from your podcast app that you would like to see
- We aren't designers :( - perhaps you can design a better theme for you
- You want to learn more about Flutter which powers this app

Contributing
The repo might seem like an odd mix of the flutter stack and the npm world.
In part, it's laziness and reliance of convenience/experience with node/npm.
Development in Docker
There is no support for developing via an emulator. A priviledge docker
container is used in conjunction with an usb-connected device.
- Build the docker image via
npm run build:docker(it will be called flutter-dev - it's a generic image to allow flutter development) - Start developing via
npm run start:docker
By default, this will trigger flutter run within the container. However, to
use another entrypoint, try npm run start:docker -- lib/main_prod.dart.
Caveats
Currently, I maintain a datastore with popular podcast data. In order to
contribute, you would need information about this datastore. As a substitute,
you are able to reproduce
this datastore using the podcasts-fetcher work.
App Releases
I have not made what's required to release this app in the play store
(keys, release settings, etc) available via github. It's essentially
what's in the flutter docs guiding developers through the release process.
