I've been using :AntennaPod: @AntennaPod for some years now and It's truly a legend in podcast world, but it suffers from one single and very tiny UI design flaw (which is understandable in such FLOSS and volunteer-based projects): some buttons are virtually hidden unless you know where to look for them.

One of the features that many podcast apps have is the ability to archive podcasts (i.e out of sight, out of mind, but keep my stats and progress).

In AntennaPod there are multiple threads about this issue, for example:

https://forum.antennapod.org/t/archive-pause-subscribed-podcasts/3082

https://github.com/AntennaPod/AntennaPod/issues/6672

and they suggest this manual process:

  1. putt them in a tag called “archive”
  2. disabling “show in main list”
  3. disabling “keep updated”

The first one is easy, the 3rd one I found it in the podcast setting, but the 2nd one was a pain to find. I even used the search box in the settings and didn't find it.

At the end I found this short helpful article that had pictures for where to find the option I was looking for:

@AntennaPod I think the general direction is ok, but either:

  1. Please add an option to automate this with a toggle button in each podcast settings

  2. move/duplicate that checkbox also in the podcast settings and not tag settings (where it does not belong imho)
