Overcast for Apple Watch [Concept]

[Note: I don't work for Overcast, this is simply a thing I did for fun]

I wanted to practice my Framer skills, so I decided to spend the afternoon working on this little idea I had. Check out the live prototype: http://share.framerjs.com/9pc3d3jqfd6i/

I use Overcast all the time to listen to podcasts, but the current app is slow and overcomplicated. I decided to see how I could simplify the whole interaction model to optimize for speed.

The result is incredibly simple: the top of the screen is the simple playback controls and scrolling down reveals your recently added playlist. If you want to play something else, simply tap on the show. Done. Hopefully we'll see something like this in the next version.

Another small detail: I often want to see how much time is remaining to the current podcast I'm listening to, so I put the *remaining* time in the top-left instead of the elapsed time.
