Are you still experiencing this issue? If you are can you please DM me your user id and I'll see if I can figure out what's going wrong.

Hey sorry for the late reply - APK download available here - https://fountain.fm/apk

2024-08-31 15:40:40

Fountain 1.1 was just the beginning of what we want to do with open podcasting and nostr.
If you like the direction we’re going - please spam my DMs with feedback about the app and we’ll make it better for you!

Ok this is pretty cool!
@npub1xts…kk5s shared an apple podcasts link - I missed it in my main nostr feed - but saw it in Fountain and because of open podcasting even though it was an apple podcast link Fountain can find the episode, show me the playable content card, and let me queue it up and download it!

Do you have the Amber signer on your phone? If yes can you DM me your Fountain user id (available in the menu) and I'll investigate further.

Android Remote Signers like Amber let you sign remotely on mobile from a single app - https://github.com/nostr-protocol/nips/blob/master/55.md
What went wrong with the web extension exactly?

Not much to add on the SGX Key Extraction vulnerability 😅 - but if you want to hear about how we migrated Fountain's social features to nostr give this episode a listen!

At some point yes. But still a lot to do to get the audio experience as good as it can be so focussing on that first.

2024-08-28 11:23:00

Ok interesting. I did some investigation and it looks like your latest follow list was only on certain relays. Other relays had various copies of old follow lists. Fountain does try to find the latest follow list but it's possible that it didn't. I have updated the logic for searching for the latest follow list for the next version which should catch cases like this. I'm still not sure it was Fountain that did this - but either way the additional checks will be helpful.

2024-08-28 09:05:28

- reply

@npub1e2r…lx8t I can see the your latest follow list in the Fountain relay has many pubkeys - it doesn't seem to have been nuked. We also have logic in the app that prevents signing a brand new follow list so this shouldn't happen.
Can I ask where you saw your empty follow list?

2024-08-27 11:20:32

- reply

Amazing! Let me know if you need help beta testing - we have the NIP-46 client code basically working on Fountain.

2024-08-27 10:30:45

- reply

Now Damus has push notifications - how easy would it be for the app to act as a NIP-46 signer that could briefly wake up via a push notification to sign events from other NIP-46 clients?

2024-08-23 22:36:41

Yes we hope to add this soon.

Fountain 1.1 is just the beginning - so much more we can do now we're plugged into nostr - stay tuned for more!

2024-08-22 13:04:51

- reply

You won’t be following them on nostr by default no - this is because the app needs to be able to sign the follow events. We do have a screen that lets you find your old fountain followers and follow them on nostr. It’s available by clicking on the people icon in the Home Screen appbar.

Great let me know when it’s ready to test!

2024-08-22 08:01:26

- reply

Yes totally agree this isn't ideal. On Android we support NIP-55 remote signers like Amber. On iOS we plan to add NIP-46 remote signer support - the only reason we haven't yet is there isn't really a great mobile NIP-46 signer for iOS. I'm actually hoping that @npub18m7…q955 or @npub12vk…pugg might add NIP-46 remote signing capabilities - would make onboarding easier as 1 less app to download.

Fountain 1.1 with #nostr is now live on iOS and Android!
https://m.primal.net/KGni.mov
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
Read more about the new Fountain nostr features here: https://blog.fountain.fm/p/1-1
Please let me know your feedback!

I never saw @npub1a2c…w83a's post about this episode in my main nostr client feed because I didn't happen to open Primal or Damus in the timeframe that she shared it.
What's cool about the new Fountain Nostr integration is we only surface posts related to audio - so I saw it and was able to queue up the episode - and also send Lyn a zap in the process! ⚡️

Haha these look the chapter images from the RSS feed which can contain gifs - it’s definitely not an ad. @npub1cj8…rz4u if you don’t have this chapter it may be that that chapter image cache has a bug where it’s displaying a chapter from a previous episode. I’ll investigate this. @npub160t…yjc9 any chance you remember the episode you played before this one?

- reply

@npub1gcx…nj5z the idea is to let people share payments they make as kind 1 notes so they can be viewed in other client feeds.
I thought that quoting the zap made the most sense as it should be an easy change for clients to extract the zap data and render it just like they already do with regular quote posts.
I shared more context around the idea here: #note10ld…83xj
Also talked about the approach in detail on this episode - https://fountain.fm/episode/x91F3sLEqonV22yzqDNc

2024-07-01 09:45:24

- reply

Yes very curious how people working on ecash plan to represent payments on nostr - have you seen anything proposed?

2024-07-01 09:08:11

- reply

For self-custodial setups the recipient could also create one of these events - and as you say clients could choose whether to trust it based on their pubkey.

2024-07-01 09:03:20

- reply

Maybe we should just abandon keysend - I think Podcasting 2.0 is the only place it's used and it makes everything so much harder because many wallets don't support it.

2024-07-01 08:45:43

I've spoken to a few people about this idea and have had mixed feedback so I'm not sure it's the right approach - but I thought I'd share here anyway with the hope that it sparks conversation about the best way to represent payments for apps that want to integrate nostr for the social layer, but where the zap spec doesn't quite work for their use case.
The idea is a new parameterised replaceable event that can represent any payment in any currency signed by a semi-trusted provider which in most cases will be the app that the user is posting from.
I see two key benefits of this approach which currently are not supported by the zap spec:
- Payment Recipient Not on Nostr - if the user making the payment is on nostr but the recipient is not, it's still useful to both allow the payment, and be able to represent it as a nostr event. Especially for apps that already have a payments component it makes the adoption of nostr easier because they don't have to try and retroactively fit the zap spec into their use case.
- Multiple Currencies - it's also useful for apps that already have a payment component to be able to represent payments in any currency. This de-couples the onboarding to nostr from the onboarding to bitcoin + lightning - something that can still be encouraged but can happen gradually.
For Fountain / Podcasting 2.0 specifically all the payments use keysend so as far as I'm aware there's no way to create a zap receipt that conforms to the spec. Maybe we should just try and switch all the Podcasting 2.0 payments to BOLT-11 - but with BOLT-12 and potentially other payment mechanisms like ecash becoming more popular - is it useful to have a more generic representation of a payment?
Keen to hear people's feedback on this and whether there are any other ideas that might work?
@npub1xts…kk5s would also be great to get your thoughts on whether there is a way to 'fit' keysend payments into the existing zap spec / general thoughts on extending it.

The default library filter icons are All, Starred, Downloaded, In Progress.
You can also add custom filter tags and tag either at the show level or episode level and then filter your library based on these.
