Nostr Web Client

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

So is this open source yet?

ayono 1y ago

+1 this

The answer is no I guess.

. 1y ago

It might have nip46 which is good

aca7d345... 1y ago

Is the app collecting our nsecs and tracking us? Guess we can't know the answer because it's closed source. A little too much trusting happening here imo. Especially when developer can't be bothered to respond to any of these concerns.

Nice!

Hmmm… I’m in iOS18 dev beta 7. App crashes when I click connect nostr.

TKay 1y ago

I worked through it from the side menu.

Excellent, excited to try this out

Let's Go!!!!!!!

Just linked up NOSTR, excited to see how it works, good job Oscar & Nick! (I think I lost all my clips, btw).

Fountain 1y ago

Thanks! Try going to Settings > Library > Reset Library Cache 👍

PhantomPowerMedia 1y ago

That worked! You guys are pretty smart. ;)

Yoooo browsing the music feed is awesome. nostr:npub1clk6vc9xhjp8q5cws262wuf2eh4zuvwupft03hy4ttqqnm7e0jrq3upup9 check it out. Finally a feed of notes with just music links.

Shawn 1y ago

Yessir. I’ve been testing for a couple of weeks. Brilliant.

NotBiebs and 69 others 1y ago

nostr:npub1unmftuzmkpdjxyj4en8r63cm34uuvjn9hnxqz3nz6fls7l5jzzfqtvd0j2 how are you filtering just for notes with music links? Are you using nip-50?

NotBiebs and 69 others 1y ago

Wen nip-46 login?

Oscar Merry 1y ago

In this version we support NIP-55 Remote Signer login with Android signers like Amber. NIP-46 coming very soon - although there's not great options for mobile signers on iOS.

NotBiebs and 69 others 1y ago

Okay. I’ll try logging in on my Android 🤙

NotBiebs and 69 others 1y ago

You don’t need a nip-46 mobile signer app on iOS. nsec.app works great.

Oscar Merry 1y ago

Ok nice will give this a test - although if you're using your phone where is nsec.app running?

NotBiebs and 69 others 1y ago

I have it running in a browser on my MacBook. It runs a service worker in the background so it’s not necessary to keep your nsec.app dashboard open, but I usually keep itn open during the initial connection. You can run it on your iPhone browser, but I haven’t tried it. Talk to nostr:npub1xdtducdnjerex88gkg2qk2atsdlqsyxqaag4h05jmcpyspqt30wscmntxy

Oscar Merry 1y ago

Aah ok so if your laptop is closed it won't work?

NotBiebs and 69 others 1y ago

Yeah, but you can run it on your iPhone. IIRC running it on your iPhone has extra steps. I’m just usually at home so I just use it on my MacBook.

Oscar Merry 1y ago

Aah ok I didn't know this! Will give it a test and we should have it implemented very soon 👍

NotBiebs and 69 others 1y ago

nostr:npub1xdtducdnjerex88gkg2qk2atsdlqsyxqaag4h05jmcpyspqt30wscmntxy have you thought about packaging nsec.app for nostr:npub1aghreq2dpz3h3799hrawev5gf5zc2kt4ch9ykhp9utt0jd3gdu2qtlmhct? I assume most people keep their Umbrel on 24/7, so would be great to have nsec.app running there.

brugeman 1y ago

I am testing the new branch that allows for that, stay tuned

Oscar Merry 1y ago

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

Oscar Merry 1y ago

If you're interested - go take a look at NIP-73 External Content IDs to see how we're referencing podcasts on nostr in a way that any client can query them:

GLACA 1y ago

Hey. I created Fountain account and linked my current Nostr pubkey. Can't see changes to fountain. Should that be visible? Can I connect Primal wallet?

Fountain 1y ago

Are you on version 1.1? You can’t connect external wallets. Fountain has an in-built wallet that you can top up from any Lightning Wallet.

GLACA 1y ago

Ok. I was on old version. Now connect to Nostr works. For some reason can't change the wallet user name. I should be able to do it. Right?

Can one cross post on Fountain? Music related stuff for example?

Fountain 1y ago

It should be available through Google Play Store

nupe 1y ago

Love Fountain, but... De-Googled phones would like to download your apk directly or via droidify or similar. I'm not touching Google Play Store on this Graphene profile. Have to resort to some iffy mirror like APKPure to get Fountain. Break from the gatekeepers, fam.

Tubbs 1y ago

Congrats!!

Jason 1y ago

Fantastic! Simply enter my nsec (reassured by the message that it's stored on the device) & it just worked - first time, no grief. A pleasant change to have a UX. Great work.

Juraj 1y ago

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.

For quote some time, Fountain has been the only app I have used for listening to podcasts. You should give it a whirl if you want to try out a different app.

"Nostr keypair not found" 🤔

SnarkyAlien 1y ago

Cannot connect my existing NOSTR account. Fountain wants me to create a new account. Hard pass.

skretcode 1y ago

You don’t have to create a new one.

SnarkyAlien 1y ago

It's a Pub/Priv key pairing issue. Fountain somehow added a Public Key to my account, which is incorrect, and I never gave them. Only option is to create a new account.

skretcode 1y ago

You can delete your nostr key and put in a new one in settings.

SnarkyAlien 1y ago

Can't update my NOSTR pubkey on Fountain for some reason. 🤷🏼‍♂️

George the ₿ullgarian ⚽️ guy 1y ago

This is sick!!! Only one big problem: I don’t want to share my nsec with Fountain and every other app that integrates Nostr. This is just a ticking time bomb.

Signing extensions should be integrated as a default option! Or am I missing something?

Oscar Merry 1y ago

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 nostr:npub18m76awca3y37hkvuneavuw6pjj4525fw90necxmadrvjg0sdy6qsngq955 or nostr:npub12vkcxr0luzwp8e673v29eqjhrr7p9vqq8asav85swaepclllj09sylpugg might add NIP-46 remote signing capabilities - would make onboarding easier as 1 less app to download.

nostr:npub1unmftuzmkpdjxyj4en8r63cm34uuvjn9hnxqz3nz6fls7l5jzzfqtvd0j2 will the followers we had before in Fountain remain connected to our Fountain Account? Or will they be fully replaced by the Nostr ones? For those like me that had already some followers it wouldn’t be the best solution.

Thanks for clarifying.

Oscar Merry 1y ago

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.

Thomas 1y ago

Ok found that. Unfortunately nobody of my previous Fountain Followers is on Nostr yet. But question is: Do they still follow me on Fountain and can see my clips etc.? Can I see those contacts still somewhere on Fountain?

TheBitcoinBattery 1y ago

Damn, now THIS makes me super excited for the future of #Nostr! Kudos to y'all for making this update. Permissionless integration of open source Bitcoin empowered social media into everything is the future! I love podcasts so I can't wait to try Fountain and support you guys. Question though, I am still new to Nostr and want to avoid sharing my Nsec with every app. Is there any way to connect my Nostr with fountain without sharing my Nsec? I'm on Android.
