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.

even if Derek adds stuff from the index he cant handle the keysend payments unless the user is using Alby which is kind of the issue at hand currently with PC 2.0 and why were having the keysend/lnurl debate over there right now but people over there also say this is all dead but wont try new stuff out but thats where use #DevTard come into play becasue we like build cool shit to send people sats (as long as its on a RSS Feed).

We got Disco Balls that light up and MalCum that reads Boostagrams that are sent in live to Homegrown Hits. All built by average joes that just love podcasting, V4V and not Bitcoin.

Oh yeah, the boostable effects are fucking amazing. If people experienced the power of a live show that you as an listener can be involved in, they'd fall in love with all of this the same way we have.

Would be nice if there was some sort of massive decentralized streaming concert that was released that put a spotlight on all the insane features that can be implemented and give people a taste of what an insanely immersive and interactive concert experience they can have from their bed.

🤔🤫

Yeah, like what if we could spotlight all of these satellite bands spread around the world, and certain boosts triggered different effects, and there were hosts that could read the messages in real time. Man, that sounds like a rad event.

nostr:npub18gp8p84hjmjh9zejdlyqqcg22sj6x3qra0q2ng4v6cxxg95sav8q0mcg5e let's get on this. I know a few dudes that would be down.

Dude we could have these sick monty python-like animations at the start and throughout the show. Oh, and get demu artists to write theme songs and shit.

Oh, and some random poetry, because why not?!?

Ok revolutionary thought. Stay with me.

What if we gamified this and had like a boost leaderboard showing not only who is boosting the most but what app or boost method is winning?!?!?!

If only the tech existed for such a fantasy.

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.

but it works :)

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.

yeah, it's ugly. i need to find an elegant solution. once i do ill publish it to prod.
