Nostr Web Client

If you're focus is nostr, and I know that's where your heart is, the Wavlake api may be a better choice for you because of the way they handle the value block. Because nostr doesn't do splits very well, non-Wavlake feeds may be problematic for you.

However, if you're interested in other non-Wavlake music, the Podcast Index also has an API that lets you fetch all of the music feeds, but the value blocks are considerably more difficult to do using nostr based wallets.

Hopefully, nostr figures out an elegant way to handle splits, because it is really cool being able to have multiple people paid from the listener.

nostr supports splits on events, but profiles only use the lightning address on the profile.

so i have podcastindex.org's API now working on my local dev environment of zaptrax. it works and i can play music just fine. the issue is now supporting keysend. that is not widely supported. i guess the issue is also wavlake music just does a keysend to their node instead of doing the split with the artist sand them?

i need to figure out how to handle all of this elegantly in a user interface so it doesn't look jumbled or confusing.

Yeah, Wavlake handled splits on their server instead of your wallet sending multiple payments. It works, and given some of the limitations, it makes sense.

And good luck. The UI/UX of multiple splits is a tough problem to handle elegantly. I'm not sure there's clean way of doing it yet, but we'll get there.
