UWP wrapper for Pocketcasts Web App (just-for-fun project)

UWP Wrapper for Pocketcasts Web App

This is a just-for-fun project, as my first dabble into UWP/C# world.

Maybe I just should have used the Hosted Web App template, but:

• I want to learn C# and UWP app development
• I needed to use the media keys and I can't inject code into Hosted Web Apps to do that (there must be a way, so if it is somewhere I may nuke this project to implement that)

Project inspired by Morten Just's Pocket Casts for Mac wrapper.

How do I get it?

Check the releases page. It's an .appxbundle that you can install by double click if you have sideloading enabled (which, apparently, everyone has enabled since build 10586).

Current status

• Load Pocketcasts web app on launch using WebView.
• Remember login status (thanks to WebView).
• Support for Play/Pause, Forward (30s) and Rewind (10s) buttons.

TODO list

• Learn to program damn asyncs C# and UWP intricacies.
• Make the size of the WebView element the same of the viewport.
• Update the media controls display with podcast info.
• Polish (A LOT)
• Test on more machines (only Win10 x64 so far)
