I've been enjoying beta testing this and so happy this is out. It's amazing, I've been using it as my only podcast player. I've always loved learning about outstanding podcasts from my social bubble. Someone posts something to a group that they find interesting. It's not possible to listen to every episode of every podcast I like, so social selection works best. Now I choose who's opinion on quality podcasts I enjoy and it just works in Fountain, even if my friends don't use it directly.
It is just a beautiful UX around what most of us have been doing manually - listening to their friends, or having content curated in a decentralized group of people we choose.
Fountain 1.1 with #nostr is now live on iOS and Android!
Why Nostr?
We regularly hear from both listeners and podcasters that the social features in Fountain are a great way to discover content that’s worth listening to.
When you support a podcast, or comment on an episode, your message is surfaced to your followers in the Fountain home feed and anyone that sees these can add the content to their library.
But this came with a few problems. When you first start using Fountain you wouldn’t have any followers so your posts wouldn’t get seen. If you wanted to share something you were listening to, you had to choose between leaving a comment on Fountain, or sharing on another social platform.
Today we are excited to announce a massive update to Fountain that solves these problems with Nostr:
- You can bring your existing profile and followers to Fountain - Your boosts and comments will be surfaced in other Nostr clients - Posts shared from other Nostr clients relating to audio will appear in your feed - Conversation and interactions now flow freely across multiple apps
