History

I started this project back in the Fall of 2018 because there didn't seem to be any way to make a short clip of a podcast to publish on social media. I figured this might be a fun side project to help promote the Mostly Security podcast I was co-hosting. It turned into a little more than a side project and became "Eric's playground for learning about iOS features" - the biggest of which being an attempt to charge a subscription for using the app.

However, a short time after releasing the app, a couple of the heavy hitters in Podcast Players came out with a clip sharing feature - and since I really didn't want to compete as a podcast player or try to keep the app current, I removed it from the App Store, disappointing 3 or 4 people.

Now, here is it "open source".
