Any idea why this might be happening?

Merry Christmas Nostr! ๐ŸŽ„

๐Ÿš˜ ๐ŸŽ™๏ธ If anyone listens to podcasts mostly in the car - we would love some help testing our new CarPlay / AndroidAuto experience thatโ€™s now available in beta with Fountain 1.4.4.

The new Fountain experience in the car is much better than previous versions - but we really need help testing it before general release.

TestFlight / APK beta links are available in our telegram group - https://t.me/+ZMnGthLREYQ3N2Rk

Please do jump in and give it a quick test in the car if you have a spare 5 mins today / tomorrow! ๐Ÿ™

We're still exploring moving the queue to a separate tab - it's a bigger change so requires more thought.

Anyway let me know what you think of this new shows layout and if you have any additional feedback.

Sorry yes this is a bug with the current version 1.4.1 where the active item position was not always passed into the boost payment request. Fix has been implemented and new version 1.4.2 should be live in the next 24 hours pending app store approvals.

Introducing Take My Sats โ€” a #bitcoin-only ecommerce platform.

https://www.takemysats.com

If you told me a year ago when I left Shopify that Iโ€™d be building the platform for bitcoiners, I wouldnโ€™t have believed you. But as we know, itโ€™s gradually then suddenly. So here we are. The website is now entering its beta phase and coming out the gate with the following features:

๐ŸŸ  Nostr login

๐ŸŸ  Lightning address, NWC, and BTCPay payment integrations (Note: If using a Lightning address, it needs to support LNURL-verify)

๐ŸŸ  nostr:npub16ndruwfg7dsdhnp3w8zvqrg0r2rn3wucnttgrg5acm2lhqpkepkqncr9qr verification

๐ŸŸ  Pay for and create shipping labels via Bitcoin Postage

๐ŸŸ  Support for promo codes

๐ŸŸ  Store analytics

BETA ACCESS:

To get access, zap this note 2100 sats and Iโ€™ll get you set up with a store.

SPECIAL OFFER:

In the spirit of long time preference, I purchased the domain for the max amount of 5 years. If youโ€™re bullish on what Iโ€™m building and would like to support, you can lock in a Pleb Plan for five years for 100K sats. Iโ€™ll also come up with a nice badge to display on your storefront.

Thank you to my alpha testers, you will continue to have access throughout the beta phase.

Finally, thank you for reading this note and for your continued support. Letโ€™s keep building. ๐Ÿซก

nice!

Thank you for the detailed feedback - really appreciate it.

On Episode Sorting - although the default sort is "Latest episodes" - it's actually sorted by date added - so if you manually add an episode the is older it will go to the top. We're going to work on adding more sort options.

On premium signup not working - what device / os are you using?

On show page tile option - just to confirm do you mean viewing your list of shows as a grid of images without text?

On queue as main tab - we are exploring this - hopefully can share more soon.

On pod link as default link shares - if podlink expose the podcast guids somehow which I think they might - then we could do this and still have the shares display in our feeds.

Let me know if you think of anything else.

Yeah definitely - I havenโ€™t spent too much time looking at the various groups / community nips - but it would be cook to join a community around a show or a set of shows - or even a topic!

Issues with nostr:nprofile1qy2hwumn8ghj7etyv4hzumn0wd68ytnvv9hxgqtxwaehxw309anxjmr5v4ezumn0wd68ytnhd9hx2tmwwp6kyvtkx46kv7tgx3kxketnd3nhs7rrvdkxwwrxxp585ct6dpshwdmjwdexsanxw96hs7ndxfnxkd35vvmny6rswv6r2m3swc6n7cnjdaskgcmpwd6r6arjw4jsqgr98zf9a0akv86p3kx86p6tachg4lthsuqamzg8psk6jdk4w8j4cv6qcgkr

I've been using Fountain as my go to podcast player for at least 2 years and love it. But after recent upgrades I've had persistent issues and it's getting close to being unusable now.

I'm on iOS and am experiencing the following issues:

- Each time the screen goes off on my phone the podcast will stop playing. What I mean is that whenever my display goes dark if I'm not using the phone the podcast stops playing. It only happens with Fountain, not with other audio apps like Spotify. It used to rectify if I shut the app and restarted, but this no longer works.

I have had to resort to restarting my phone, which worked or a while but now is not working either.

This is a persistent issue now and I'm close to ditching Fountain because I can't listen to podcasts anymore, so wonder if anyone else has had this issue or if Fountain can offer any solutions?

-The second issue is that after a recent upgrade my headphone controls no longer work on Fountain. I used to be able to pause or restart a podcast by tapping the button on my headphones, but this doesn't work anymore. I can do it on other audio apps but can't stop a podcast with the headphone pause button now.

-Last issue is the the podcasts in the queue don't autoplay. It seems to happen after I rearrange the order of the episodes in the queue, whenever I do this they don't auto play.

The main issue I'd like to resolve is the player cutting out when my screen goes to sleep, this means I can't listen to podcasts while I'm driving or walking. And we all know there's no life for Bitcoiner's without pods.

Hope you can help nostr:nprofile1qy2hwumn8ghj7etyv4hzumn0wd68ytnvv9hxgqtxwaehxw309anxjmr5v4ezumn0wd68ytnhd9hx2tmwwp6kyvtkx46kv7tgx3kxketnd3nhs7rrvdkxwwrxxp585ct6dpshwdmjwdexsanxw96hs7ndxfnxkd35vvmny6rswv6r2m3swc6n7cnjdaskgcmpwd6r6arjw4jsqgr98zf9a0akv86p3kx86p6tachg4lthsuqamzg8psk6jdk4w8j4cv6qcgkr

Thanks

Really sorry you're experiencing these issues!

Can you please confirm if you're using the latest version 1.2.8?

Also would you mind sending an email to hello@fountain.fm with your fountain user id, iPhone model, and headphone make, and I can investigate if there are any specific errors being thrown?

I'll make sure that we get this resolved for you.

Great thanks! Can you send me an email oscar@fountain.fm and will add you to the beta

In my view adding this simple change to the way client feeds work would massively increase the value of nostr - as currently there's just too much going on and it's easy to miss valuable posts. The trending section of Primal is great - but I don't believe it serves the same purpose.

Do any clients offer this right now?

"What we decided to do is ... you're on the app, and then you go away, and then you come back to it, let's say, after like 3 hours, and you're following a 1000 people. When you have to go reverse through a 1000 people to see what you missed, like, it's it's what Nostr is today ... You can't do that. It just takes time, and it takes time away from what else you could be doing. So our first algorithm was called while you're away, and it would try to figure out what you are most likely to engage with in terms of like, what you tend to look at more or you you reply to. And it would put 8 of those tweets at the top. And then underneath, it's the the full reverse cron. And we kept that for 2 years."

Which clients have the best nostr live stream experience?

Obviously nostr:npub1eaz6dwsnvwkha5sn5puwwyxjgy26uusundrm684lg3vw4ma5c2jsqarcgz on web but I think some other clients also support NIP-53 on mobile?
