1 — This first version is just Mac -> iPhone (Same as iTunes). 2 way sync is in development and I'm hoping to have it out within the next couple of months. Playlists, liked songs, play history would be included in the sync!
Honestly, it's unlikely. I'm gauging interest, and while there is some, I have to weigh it against the extra dev time (and other things like compatibility, support etc).
I'm just one designer/developer, so I'll need to see fairly substantial demand before I can commit to it.
Not what you wanted to hear, I know, but hopefully it makes sense!
Can relate to feeling like there aren't apps out there that really focus on this specific problem. Happy to see Doppler resonate with a lot of people today.
I've thought about incorporating music-focused podcasts into Doppler. There's a lot of really high quality ones out there (e.g. Resident Advisor). It's not something planned for the short term, but it's definitely on my radar.
Good to know I'm not alone in thinking it would be useful!
2 — Not right now, but please drop me a quick email (https://brushedtype.co/contact/) and I'll let you know when it's out!
