How it finds the episode
Podcasts have no shared code like a song's, so Patois has to compare. It looks for the show by name, then for the episode by title and date. If a show has reused a title, it takes the episode nearest in date.
When it finds the show but not the episode, it opens the show and tells you which episode to choose. A wrong episode would be worse than one extra tap.
Which links it reads
- Spotify and Apple Podcasts: on iPhone, iPad and Mac in Safari, in Chrome, and by sharing to the Patois app.
- Deezer: only by sharing to the Patois app on iPhone or iPad.
