Why I don’t use Fountain even though I tried. A morning rant.

Every morning I open the fountain app. I get confused, I see a bunch of things I’m not interested in as my first content interaction.

The I see a “Podcasts” toggle, and I’m like, ah, there are my podcasts, and it’s the same as All. Just zaps.

Then, I look around and find “Library” I click it, I see podcasts I listened to?!? What?

Click on one of them, hoping I can find the channel, but I can’t. 🤷‍♂️

So I open the podcasts app and there it is the latest episode of what I want to listen to in a huge tile, and next to it, all the podcasts I’m listening to next.

Fix this please.

Yep, the UX is pretty confusing.

2/10 UI/UX.

I found it less confusing before the recent change

Couldn't agree more.

They have so many great things going - it needs a new UX.

Very similar to Rumble.

We are working on a redesign of the home page that will address this - not too far off.

In the meantime - if you're signed up to premium you can change your default tab to the library.

Thanks for the detailed feedback always appreciate people taking the time to say what they don't like!

I like this idea. I wanted to tell some other people to use the fountain app so they can earn sats as an intro to bitcoin, but they were turned off by the drivel in the ‘nostr’ section. So the just stopped using it. It would be cool to do like a ‘community’ tab or something that could be turned off if you don’t want the nostr integration. I love the app and I sub to premium so i can just go straight to the library myself.

Great feedback thanks - this is exactly what we're going to do in the new home screen design - should be available soon!

Keep up the good work Oscar. Been a longtime user and supporter of fountain.
