of course I looked at the code for helping me to solve some silly
problems (and there are silly problems like feeds with not using any
standards and other stuff). But...

...I am creating something totally different with complete different
usage concepts I studied from actual applications seen on other phone OSes.

The code is just working and my testers are amazed. I just use it for
feeding myself with podcasts on holidays and it works great: Just 130k
of python/qml code, without any memory leaking (gpodder eats memory
after some time) and performance killing.

Because some features are actually missing (it actually would not
complete fulfill a Pritlove test but my PoCs are promising) I will not
tell too much. But till now it passes the harbour tests and I will soon
publish it on harbour and e.g. github when the missing stuff is done.

With due respect: you can see the age of the code base of GPodder. You
can do many funny tricks to mobile ui based code when you use modern
programming paradigms which save resources and time. And by now my main
engine seems to be recyclable for other projects too.

More on that when publishing.

For the unit tests: I am now handling them on my developing machine not
on the phone with a venv and libraries known to be installed on the
phone. That seems to work by now.

Thomas
