"Add new podcast" workflow inefficient

[Joe Liau]

Podbird 0.8

Current workflow:
1. Menu
2. Add New Podcast
3. "magnifying glass"
4. Search
5. Subscribe
6. REDIRECT to "Podcasts" list - repeat steps 1-5.

Proposed workflow:
1. Menu
2. Add New Podcast
3. "magnifying glass"
4. Search
5. Subscribe
6. STAY in search with ability so search/subscribe to a new podcast without having to go through steps 1-3.

Thank you for the update.

Regarding #2. The workflow seems to be amended, but the app does not give any feedback as to whether or not you have subscribed to the podcast.

Ideally the "subscribe" button would be changed to the red "unsubscribe" button on press. I think that's how it works in #1.

On the arm64 version it currently doesn't do that, and sometimes crashes.

https://code.launchpad.net/~dano6/podbird/podbird/+merge/382136 should fix this

It crashes less for me with #2 workflow. It can freeze after returning from search page when you add many podcasts, but wait a bit should help (we should rewrite backend probably).
