Finally, I can detect the 35 Overcast users on visionOS without this giant pile of hacks.

(that is literally the number of active Overcast users on visionOS)

@marcoarment Overcast is close to watch/iPhone exclusive for me. Have used it a couple of times on iPad or Mac, but podcasts are for driving or running. None of which I do with the AVP.

@marcoarment when I do listen to overcast while using a Vision Pro I’m usually airplaying audio to my HomePods in the room from my iPhone.

@marcoarment how many accounts does @caseyliss have access to and how committed do you think he would be to fucking with you?

@marcoarment How do you define “active”. I believe I am one of those people, however, I can tell you I haven't used Overcast on my Vision Pro in many months.

@marcoarment IMHO, Apple needs to open their wallet and pay developers to create or port apps and content creators to create videos for Apple Vision Pro.

The number of regular AVP users is just too small for most to justify the cost to develop apps and content for the platform or to attract investors.

And without apps & content, the user base won’t grow.

“Build it, and they will come” rarely happens.

@marcoarment Those devices probably have the same amount of charge in them as my Playdate. I.e. zero.

@marcoarment I use the Vision Pro every day, and I use Overcast every day. But not a single time have I used Overcast on Vision Pro (or played a podcast from any other app), same story for the Mac. Doesn’t mean Vision Pro isn’t being used :)

@marcoarment 36, I’ve not had time to use it in the last few days. Will definitely be on it later this week.
