Building our own stuff also allows us to work on stuff the bigger apps aren't or don't have time to.

Like the wallets switching during a live music show that SirLibre added to v4vmusic. It's such a key part to the live music shows because it allows the artists to get paid while you're listening live. Only other apps that support it are PodcastGuru and Curiocaster.

Music playlist also. It's been in the PC 2.0 spec forever but some have to work on it and we are to help flush out these ideas and give other apps stuff to also build off of.

I'm also experimenting with a lot of Nostr stuff to flush out ideas and see what works and what doesn't.

That podcasting stuff has been solved imo and the apps are killer but now music needs some love and that's what we're doing. It's also to build out tools so the V4V music shows have more great music to play so this all grows.

It's really a beautiful process building on open specs and protocols where everyone shares ideas and everyone benefits.

Probably why a lot of us have been doing this PC 2.0 thing for 5 years now.
