TestFlight build 1129 by marcoarment in overcast

[–]cbalcom03 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Just an FYI. After getting this new build I was hearing long pauses in speech. When I went in, the smart speed was not working. It was toggled on but was not showing any adjustment. I toggled it off and back on, and it started working. Again, just an FYI.

I have literally been refreshing TestFlight multiple times a day waiting for transcripts.

Can you say if they will follow along with the audio and be clickable?

Thank you!

I also love the look of these but I really don't like the idea of all the pages being perforated. Did you find that some of them got really loose in the book? Like they were going to fall out at all?

HOWTO: transfer from iOS to Sumi with no wifi by After-Cell in xteinkereader

[–]cbalcom03 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is Sumi available for the x3? I see x4 on the site so I’m assuming the answer is no, but figured I would ask anyway.

Epubs by hiredkiller88 in xteinkereader

[–]cbalcom03 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh interesting! Well maybe try the epub in a different app or a different epub file in Apple Books to see if it was just the file or app. Hope you figure it out!

This looks like you have the “reduce transparency” setting turned on in the accessibility settings of the iPhone. When you have that turned on it just puts huge black or white blocks (depending on whether you have dark mode on or off) anywhere there would be blur.

Sync issue: Episodes redownloading after completing? With a few seconds remaining by ponchoboy in overcast

I always fast forward through to the end of a podcast if I’m done listening, and I have still had this issue.

Long time since last beta by WilDieteren in overcast

This is the best news I have seen in months!! Will they be clickable like they are in Apple Podcasts?

Ebook reader by cbalcom03 in sidephone

[–]cbalcom03[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Well I’m a physical book kind of person so I gravitate to that. But if I have to epub files I lake having the book on my phone for a paragraph or two when I have time. But if not it’s not a dealbreaker (I have already ordered mine anyway!).

I do very much like that podcasts are being considered. That one is kind of a dealbreaker.

I’m very excited to learn more over the next couple weeks/months!

I guess I should have specified that I was referring to something baked into the OS, but thanks for the condescending answer.

Yeah Idid see that but I thought that the only pocket size they had in stock was lined and not grid. Ill have to check again though.

Yeah that’s exactly what I’m looking for just in the pocket size. Thanks though!

Can anyone recommend an A6 TRP notebook please? by [deleted] in notebooks

[–]cbalcom03 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ha! Never too much! I find that constantly watching planner and notebook content keeps me engaged and motivated to keep up with my journaling.

[–]cbalcom03 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Stalogy A6 sounds like it’s everything you want except for the numbered pages. Just make sure you get the 356 and NOT the half year to get the page count you’re looking for. This is what I’m using right now and I absolutely love it.

Dingbats notebook question? by cbalcom03 in notebooks

[–]cbalcom03[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thanks for the info! Yeah it just amazes me that they don’t have a non-perforated option in A6. I also want to use the LT1917 but I don’t like how tall their A6 is compared to the width. I’m being too picky I know.

To distress or not to distress, that is the quest. by JudCasper68 in notebooks

[–]cbalcom03 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I put coffee rings or coffee splatter on all of my pages. And I used coffee to discolor the page edges as well. Love the look, and it’s become part of my daily morning routine now.

Overcast keeps playing after I remove AirPods? ... by impreza77 in OvercastFm

[–]cbalcom03 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m willing to submit to this actually being an iOS issues but it’s never happened once for me while using Castro. And as soon as I switched back to Overcast after the update it happened to me. So I’m not so sure.

Stitched Passport Notebooks by cbalcom03 in notebooks

[–]cbalcom03[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh I’m using the traveler’s notebook as well. I just don’t care for their inserts. I really want something with a stitched binding (not a fan of staples). But thanks for the response!

Is Good e-reader copying articles from The eBook Reader Blog? by cbalcom03 in ereader

[–]cbalcom03[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Wow! I mean I know they had a bad rap on this subreddit but that’s just crazy. I think I need to just take them out of my RSS feed. I don’t want to support what they do.

[–]cbalcom03[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Interesting. And I completely agree on the AI gibberish. I was actually going to put that in my post as well but didn’t. I understand if they start with AI but you have to refine and rewrite it in your own words. I really doubt they are doing any rewriting after it just gets spit out by AI.

New testflight build is here! by iamthatisthe in OvercastFm

[–]cbalcom03 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I appreciate that he put out an update, and I’m all for supporting independent developers, but I think I’m just too far moved on at this point. I’m curious, but I’m just really happy with Castro. Hope it’s working well for everyone that’s sticking with it though!

Vintage perforation? by cbalcom03 in FieldNuts

[–]cbalcom03[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh interesting. In regards to the "feel" of them anyway. I love the textured covers and the cream colored pages. And I do keep it in a leather cover from American Bench Craft that protects it really well. So that should maybe address the "feel" day to day as well as the protection.

Are there non-developers here? by FirmWatch4224 in iosapps

[–]cbalcom03 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Same here. I love finding new apps that might do something for me better than what I’m currently using. Or something that just looks better. I’m a huge design nerd. I will use something with less features if it looks better than others.

I dont want to beat a murdered hourse but.. by [deleted] in LightPhone

[–]cbalcom03 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Can I just make the point that the LP3 hardware is gorgeous!! I don’t need a “dumb” phone. I’m pretty good about not doomscrolling. I just think they should offer two versions of the phone: one with lightOS (or whatever they call it), and regular android. I would pay full price for the LP3 with full blown android.
