Neat. I currently use EpisodeCalendar (https://episodecalendar.com/) so I'm looking at it from the perspective of is it worth switching.

So far, no, as I like being able to see a month view of the calendar. Also, I initially expected clicking the show on the calendar to give me more information (full title, summary), not simply mark it watched.

I'll try it out for a week or so and see if it grows on me.

Totally fair :) Thanks for giving it a chance!

For my own use-case, I don't really need additional info about episodes, so I wanted to make it as easy as possible to mark stuff as watched (I designed this around the idea of "I have 1 thing I want to do, how can I make it fast and easy?").

I can totally see how it'd be surprising, though, when you click an episode in the backlog view expecting more info, and it disappears. Maybe I ought to use a different cursor...

Exactly what this comment said. Very long time EC user, this is lovely designed but not quite for me.
