The plan agreed on 2026-10-19 (with the user, from their listening history). It replaces
the inbox model ("Neu" to work through, "Folgen" beside it, one queue that is both a store
and the play order). Server: diora-web (podcasts/). The podcast UI is diora-android's
`web-native/static/native-podcast.js`, copied into `static/podcasts/` — built there.
## Why
- The subscriptions (about 540) are a self-chosen part of the podcast world: episodes to see
go by and dip into now and then — not a list to work through. "Neu" had 3360 unplayed
episodes; nobody works through that.
- The queue held 74 episodes (100+ hours): a store of "want to hear some day", yet the
player played it in order as if it were the play order.
- In AntennaPod "download automatically" and "add to queue automatically" were one thing
for the user: a regular podcast is one whose new episodes are on the phone. diora split
them (177 feeds downloading, 8 queueing).
- "Silent" subscriptions came from AntennaPod fetching every feed on the phone, slowly. The
server fetches all feeds anyway now (conditional, every 15 minutes).
## The lists
**Wiedergabeliste** — short, what plays next. The player goes through it in order and
**stops when it is empty** (it does not take from the Merkliste). Every episode in it is
downloaded. Filled by hand: ▶ on an episode (plays it, puts it first), or "In die
Wiedergabeliste" from the Merkliste or the Strom.
**Merkliste** — long, "want to hear". It may grow; it **never expires**. Grouped by podcast,
each podcast **collapsible** (newest first inside). New episodes of Stamm subscriptions land
here and are downloaded; so is what the user adds with ＋. An episode played from it moves
to the front of the Wiedergabeliste; finished, it leaves both.
When an episode leaves both lists (heard, removed), its download is deleted (setting
`delete_dequeue`). Downloads follow the lists, not the subscriptions.
## Subscriptions: three levels
| level | new episodes | today's mapping |
|---|---|---|
| **Stamm** | into the Merkliste and downloaded (per feed: or straight into the Wiedergabeliste — an option, used by none yet) | `new_episodes='queue'` (8) plus the regularly heard ones (about 50, list below) |
| **Strom** (default) | in the Strom; nothing to work through, nothing downloaded | `'inbox'`, and the former silent `'ignore'` ones |
| **Auf Abruf** | not in the Strom; on the podcast's page and in search | — (for exceptions) |
The per-feed "download automatically" switch goes: Stamm means it.
**Fetch interval** per subscription: *Automatisch* (by publishing rhythm, `interval_days`:
daily publishers hourly, rare ones daily), *stündlich*, *täglich*, *wöchentlich*. The former
silent subscriptions become Strom with *täglich*.
## The Strom (replaces "Neu" and "Folgen")
