does it have to be both apps?
Hey new Nostr users that have jumped on Nostr thanks to nostr:npub1xr7t5h0l25ej73pm04zgz9afeexyzsjx67s5v0xxf2sshjn4sx6sep2gqh, I'd like to take a moment and blow your mind and show you the power of Nostr. You're probably using Damus or Primal right now. I want you to go and download an app called nostr:npub1yfg0d955c2jrj2080ew7pa4xrtj7x7s7umt28wh0zurwmxgpyj9shwv6vg or nostr:npub1v5ufyh4lkeslgxxcclg8f0hzazhaw7rsrhvfquxzm2fk64c72hps45n0v5 . You can get either of these on the Google Play Store and Apple App Store. They're essentially Spotify but for Nostr. Once you have either one downloaded, you're going to want to "sign in" to this app with your private key or secret key from your Damus or your Primal. This is the long ugly looking string of characters that starts with NSEC. This is like your super secret password that you can never change, so you do want to keep it save and never share it. This key unlocks your identity. Now that you're signed into these apps, you can now comment on songs, boost them, share them, etc. and you'll see that activity in your Damus or Primal. Why? Because it's the same ecosystem and all of these apps work together. How fucking cool is that?

No, he is suggesting two of many apps that you can try. They all work together since this is an open system that anyone can build on top of. Try nostr:npub1v5ufyh4lkeslgxxcclg8f0hzazhaw7rsrhvfquxzm2fk64c72hps45n0v5 , I use it everyday for podcasts 🙂
Fountain is great for podcasts and music. You can boost your favorite podcasts with small units of Bitcoin. Fountain has an embedded wallet you can use to fund your boosts. Your identity in Fountain is tied to the same identity used to comment in the Nostr client you're using right now. So if you post something in Fountain, maybe a comment on an episode of your favorite podcast, you can choose to also post that across the Nostr ecosystem.
Wavlake is a great place to go to discover new artists, comment, create playlists and provide immediate value to your favorite artists. It's like Spotify except musicians are not getting fractions of a penny for every song played, but direct value from you as the fan.
Please correct me if I'm wrong, but Fountain not being open source sadly is a dealbreaker for me :(
Is there any option to support podcasters v4v without the use of proprietary software?
