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

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.
Okay. I’ll try logging in on my Android 🤙
You don’t need a nip-46 mobile signer app on iOS. nsec.app works great.
Ok nice will give this a test - although if you're using your phone where is nsec.app running?
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
Aah ok so if your laptop is closed it won't work?
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.
Aah ok I didn't know this! Will give it a test and we should have it implemented very soon 👍
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.
