The podcast app I use (Podcast Addict) lets you set an amount of time to skip at the start of the podcast. Skipping 70 seconds at the start of one of them makes it so much better.
Unfortunately some podcasts combine different formats into one feed so it doesn't work so well there.

This appeared above a post that I’d love to try the feature on. Too bad I’m currently reading on my iPad Mini instead of my phone. Now contemplating which will happen first, you porting to iPad or the return of 8” Android tablets rivaling the iPad Mini. More optimistic to bet on a snowball in Hell.

Lumping them together as “AI” gives readers the impression that a single class of tool is discerning novel protein structures, teasing subtle patterns out of mountains of LHC data, writing a student’s History 101 paper, and arguing a ketamine-addled billionaire could post up Shaq in his prime. No.

In that case, maybe save state right before fetching new posts?

One possibility might be to add a setting for whether to restore position when coming back from background, but I know adding settings complicated things.

It looks to me like it would be better if it didn't reposition to the saved state when it restores from background. The restore from shutdown is good, but restore from background seems worse than doing nothing.

So far it seems to work on shutdown. And it often works on backgrounding, just not always.

And of course I just tried backgrounding it, doing something else for a while (well over a minute), and it did the same thing: show a spinner where I left off, then popped to 6 hours earlier in the timeline.

It's far, like all the reading and scrolling I've just done never happened.

The 60 seconds is consistent with what I see; my experience has been "if it's not a short article". It's also happening if I leave the app foregrounded and turn off the screen for a while. Either way, I see where I was, then it jumps to the wrong place. Seems to be better if I background it first.

Take them all, it’s designed to work that way. Otherwise you miss security updates and have dependency problems.
