Cool if this is more efficient, but is AntennaPod considered bloated? It's one of very few apps I feel give me precisely what I need and doesn't annoy me with fluff.

MODERATORS
I dont think it is very debloated, but look at the repo, home and echo page are removed and there are no modules anymore.
I saw that but that just seems like their preference. I don't feel anything in particular about the home page. It's customizable too IIRC. I don't know what the echo page is.
Echo is the "you listened x hours to y" I think.
I dont think thats needed, but all the updates to the codebase are totally.
I don't mind being able to see stats, either. I don't mean to complain about this project; I fully support the author in modifying it to their preference. Just that I wouldn't expect a "minimalist fork" out of this particular app. Regardless, it's not unwelcome in any way!
True, I went through a project once and it can be scary what EOL libraries and components it needs. But stripping out stuff was not needed.
I am unsure of this is needed. Compared to many podcast apps, antennapod is a core podcast app without many unneeded bells and whistles.
Not entirely sure what efficiencies are gained here. Might have been better if focus was given to the original project instead.
Yeah dont know either why a fork is needed. It is a port to various modern Android standards and libraries, so it is absolutely needed and not necessarily a deviation.
I think the changes are okay, but not needed.
The only thing I want from AntennaPod is the ability to automatically delete episodes that are x days old. My storage eventually becomes so full that I have to uninstall the app completely and reinstall because I'm not about to manually go and delete them all...
E: I finally figured this out. Go to download --> automatic download --> Set "episode cache" to whatever and then "episode cleanup" to "not favorited".
This is ridiculously unintuitive and probably should be the default settings...
Why have you posted this three times in a row now?
I'm down voting every repost except the first, which I up voted.
Lol
Network stuff
Thought about removing the others maybe?
Thought about checking if I already did that? ...
