Big thanks to The Qt Company for making this possible. Also, don't miss my talk on the same topic during Qt World Summit tomorrow!

I'm tempted to write a blog post titled "Drag and Drop, how hard can it be?"

I am happy to speak at NUUG events in Bergen and Oslo this week about Open Source, Privacy and Digital Sovereignty. Awesome to be back in Norway. https://www.nuug.no/aktiviteter/20211102-nextcloud/ https://rebel.no/next/nuug-meetup/

It took an awful lot of yak shaving, but finally Kasts is able to sync podcast subscriptions and episode play positions with both https://gpodder.net as well as the Nextcloud-gpodder app (which can be self-hosted, see https://github.com/thrillfall/nextcloud-gpodder).

It's just been merged into the master branch, but should also be released soon as part of plasma mobile gear 21.11.

(Kasts is a convergent podcast player: https://invent.kde.org/plasma-mobile/kasts)
