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

 Awesome 🤩 I love seen #Nostr spreading. Really excited for the social function around podcasts and being able to connect to others who like the same podcasts I do. 
 I can't seem to login using Amber. I have given fountain permissions. I get a popup saying that it was successful, but it still asks to connect a Nostr account on the home screen, and if I try to go to my profile. 
 I'm getting the same, I believe.

I click Import Nostr Key, the Connect via Android Signer, grant all permissions in Amber, it says connection successful, but then the top "Nostr Keypair Not Found" message shows up again 😕

Plus, my avatar doesn't show up, although it has my npub. 
 This exactly 🤙

 This is awesome 😲

Thank you 🙏

 How to get the apk file? I don't google play 
 And some say #nostr is a niche and will never take off. Buahahahh, look around. Fountain, yakihonne, oXchat, shopstr, wavlake, highlighter, satlantis, swarmstr, wherostr and no, not just your ordinary social echo chamber client 🔥.

 Also the collection of ratings can be done on a global scale via the Nostr protocol. 
 You might have an issue with the way you parse your boosts. 
bech32 parser takes in the first letters of the next sentence. 
 Fantastic 👏 
 great work 🫡

 I created Fountain account and linked it to Nostr pubkey. Should my nostr profile get imported? No changes on fountain hut it says linked. 
 Testing this out right meow.  
 This is the way 🫡

 Thanks for this. Just tried it. Works! Excited to dig in further.

 Essa nova versão do Fountain com integração com o Nostr ficou muito boa.

 I'm missing an option to connect a wallet using Nostr Wallet Connect. 
 I get the feeling they want to lock you into their wallet so they can skim transaction fees off the top.

Gotta pay for the platform somehow I guess. Hosting isn't cheap.  
 At least this is a more sustainable business model than other podcast apps; begging for money or selling user data. 
 When will android version be available on fdroid or obtainium? 
 It won't be on F-Droid because it's not open source.  
 All these flaws of fountain are realy getting on the nerves. I think i would be better of if writing to pocketcasts to support boost. Both apps are closed source and basic functions work very stable on pocketcasts. At least skipping and offline listening. 
 I had to check a few times for the update on Play Store but it appeared eventually. I do think there should be a better way to log in than to paste ones Nostr private key... 
 Amber  
 Already is. Use Amber signer to log in. 
 Thanks, do you guys have the exact name of the app? I tried both Amber and Amber signer but I get a lot of not relevant apps in Play Store.  
 Are there any plans to open source fountain? 
 you will not get an answer

two years ago asked this question on twitter (+ why no apk)

can't get the enthusiasm of folks here on nostr

they are ngmi 
 Even just having an apk would be something. 
 Looking forward to being able to log in directly on Browser via Nostr npub.  Looks like that is not available yet. 
 Legendary. 

I've been using this app for weeks and it's absolutely fantastic. This is how we win. Rebuilding existing applications with Nostr. Bringing all of our applications together in a beautiful symbiotic relationship with bitcoin and the freedom to communicate. 🍻

 Congratulations! 
 Fantastic ! 
 I  installed fountain, connected it to my nostr address. Attempted to import my podcast subscriptions via OPML. It seemed to work. Once. I went off to do something else and did not test it. When I reopened fountain my library was empty. Further attempts to import failed.

My device runs GrapheneOS. I see some refererence in the FAQs to certain functions not working on GrapheneOS.

 Awesome job!! 🥳 
 Biggest pet peeve so far, that isn't Nostr related.

Y  u no support gestures? I keep swiping to go back, and it closes the app 🤦 
 login ด้วย nostr ได้แล้ว 😍

 This is cool, but you should really focus more on aligning with the people most likely to use your service before adding new features.

Closed Source: Pass
Google Play: Pass

I see what you're doing and it looks neat but I'm not actually going to use it. Maybe I'm a minority, but that seems to be changing. You can add all the features you want, but it won't make a difference to people like me. 
 My thoughts aswell unfortunately. Looks cool but will stick with AntennaPod for now. 
 AntennaPod is excellent. 
 Add your wallet address to this account:) 
 Is there a way to comment a song without zap someone?

 Hey. Are you aware that the back button on android now closes the app on every screen? 
 Why do you need to collect personal info in the app?

 Will Foutain be downloadable with Obtainium or available on F-droid? I don't want to use it from Google. 
 What's your tradeoff mix concerning using algo's on any level of your product, nostr:nprofile1qqsx2wyjt6lmvc05rrvv05r5hm3w3t7h0pcpmkyswrpd4ymd2u09tscpz3mhxue69uhhyetvv9ujuerpd46hxtnfduq3kamnwvaz7tmwdaehgu339e682mnwv4k8xct5wvhxxmmdqywhwumn8ghj7mn0wd68yttsw43zuam9d3kx7unyv4ezumn9wscn3xgh?
