Fountain 1.1 with #nostr is now live on iOS and Android!
Why Nostr?
We regularly hear from both listeners and podcasters that the social features in Fountain are a great way to discover content that's worth listening to.
When you support a podcast, or comment on an episode, your message is surfaced to your followers in the Fountain home feed and anyone that sees these can add the content to their library.
But this came with a few problems. When you first start using Fountain you wouldn't have any followers so your posts wouldn't get seen. If you wanted to share something you were listening to, you had to choose between leaving a comment on Fountain, or sharing on another social platform.
Today we are excited to announce a massive update to Fountain that solves these problems with Nostr:
- You can bring your existing profile and followers to Fountain
- Your boosts and comments will be surfaced in other Nostr clients
- Posts shared from other Nostr clients relating to audio will appear in your feed
- Conversation and interactions now flow freely across multiple apps

Not to be outdone by Apple, Google is releasing a satellite-based "SOS" feature for Pixel 9 phones, allowing customers to contact emergency services in cellular dead zones. https://www.pcmag.com/news/googles-pixel-9-phones-get-their-own-satellite-sos-feature
"Access will be available [...] at no extra cost for the first two years."
Reminds me of the selling point of Pixels 1–5 with unlimited full-resolution Google Photos backup for life--of the device. After the two years are up Google will have yet another carrot and stick retention tool to perpetuate consumerism.

No one remembers the Yelp vs Google feud about scraping restaurant reviews and wanting to get paid? This has been a thing for well over a decade. https://odysee.com/@rossmanngroup:a/reddit’s-ceo-helps-google-ruin-the:8?r=BuQmpbrGCKiud2JnEmzMg2SttJiraAk6

I believe it is Z Pattern for chat design? It has been ages since I studied Visual Hierarchy Patterns from graphic design. Yes, people spend more than twice as much time looking at the left as they do the right.
If you saw me post the same thing three times in row, so very sorry. There was some serious lag with some relays and Nostr Event Deletion requests. My bad.
