Oddbean new post about login | logout It’s funny how novel it seems to be able to choose your #nostr client and still have your social graph and ID, when we actually do this all the time with email and podcast clients.
What's your favorite android client, or better PWA?
I find myself switching between nostr clients often. There are features I like in one that are not in the other and switching between either, I’ve come to see as normal.
Wait… can you elaborate on the podcast client part?
You can listen to all the same podcasts no matter what podcast client you use. And if it isn’t there by some chance (most are basically broadly available on any half decent podcast app), you can just paste the link in. Hosts have a nearly endless market of providers too. There are many thousands of options for either listening to or hosting podcasts.
Ok, got it… I thought you might’ve meant there was some wizardry where I could easily port all my followed shows.
Oh no, that would be cool tho, lol. Just meaning the open nature of the network itself. Funny is that because follows and the social graph area thing on #Nostr, doing that now *is* actually feasible is clients supported it. Imagine a world where podcasts are also given a Nostr pubkey and their RSS feeds are signed and attached? So when you log into @fountain_app or any Nostr enabled podcast app, it just scans for the RSS of those shows and repopulates them. Having that social graph travel with you is a game changer.
