What about say fountain is not optimal for music in your opinion? I know you and nostr:nprofile1qyg8wumn8ghj7cfwdehhxtnvdakz7qgwwaehxw309ahx7uewd3hkctcqyzsf2t4srftxagc8wrcn9elsgzz6450ewyz95z5478nse53etrkx6hp5hgd have been hard at work making Stablekraft and v4vmusic.com, which I think I am close to being able to link a wallet to the v4v music app on my phone so i can final zap from there.
It's mostly UI/UX stuff. Tracks not playing one after the other, Albums not being displayed as albums, music just being buried in the apps etc.
We have LNBeats.com that's our go to but it can be better so SirLibre and I are taking a shot at it and building what we think a RSS based music app should look like. We're just taking the list of stuff our smallgroup++ has always wanted and building it.
Take SirLibre's playlist maker for example.
Or take itdv.podtards.com for example that I built for nostr:nprofile1qqs2u0tgq980ehcze54e03hhx9xqq52rpx80fv30chtupv8554zzlvspzemhxue69uhhyetvv9ujumn0wd68ytnzv9hxgqgawaehxw309ahx7um5wghxkmmwd9hxwttyv4nhyctpvchxumqgm9ywu they wanted a player that people could just go to and listen to their music and that's what I built.
I made a site and TJ told me what he wanted it to do and what was broken now he has a custom web player for all his families music.
100% custom and tailored to what he wanted. It's actually the site that launched StableKraft.app which is kind of a catch all for the pieces I've picked up along the way.
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.
So is that player basically like it only plays whatever songs you’ve uploaded to it? Or it gets them from somewhere else?
Yeah that a custom site I made. nostr:nprofile1qqs2u0tgq980ehcze54e03hhx9xqq52rpx80fv30chtupv8554zzlvsprfmhxue69uhkummnw3ezuum4v3hkxctjd3hhxtnrdaksz9mhwden5te0w35kxarpvvhxummnw3erztnrdaks0hy2ja publishe their music on RSS feeds and I just use them to build the site.
All the art, music and info comes from the feeds and I just give it a nice UI.
Interesting! Thanks!
