Excited to use this when we start up the next season of the pod 🙌🏽 View quoted note →

Congratulations guys! Its a very good offer but too expensive if you are a small Podcast. The Lite Version should be around $5 per month. Spotify even offers free hosting. I know they don’t offer the V4V part but that has to be build up if you are not a Podcast about Bitcoin.

LFG!!

LFG @Fountain 👏 👏 View quoted note →

Looking good lads!

New tool just in time for season 5 of the pod. Can't believe it's been five years of @npub1627m...3aec . View quoted note →

RSS has powered open podcasting for over 20 years - but has fallen behind centralised platforms when it comes to social + monetisation. We built Fountain for Podcasters to bring RSS into the future - combining Podcasting 2.0 tags, Nostr, and Bitcoin Lightning to power direct fan support and social features that work in any podcast app. View quoted note →

But with Spotify you are both the product and the customer. @Fountain is in the business for customers.

You all are killing it! I wish you all were hiring. I would love to help build podcasting on an open standard.

Know that and I love @Fountain. That’s why they need a price attractive starter product. 25 Bucks for Lite is way too much.

I think a barebones version without the fancy features would be cool but those features might be too baked in. You can also just host your own podcast feed...

What fancy features in Lite Version do you refer to?

OK, here's the somewhat sinister but I think still reasonably pro-freedom "growth hack": you introduce an AI feature that automatically detects and skips commercials.... So the only monetization route possible is via Zaps. Value-for-value... or else. 😎

LFG🔥

I've had an excellent experience using @Fountain as my podcast hosting platform Highly recommend for both podcasters and listeners! View quoted note →

If you are a Bitcoin podcaster or an avid 40h/PW listener, please list the reasons below why you are not using @Fountain It's extremely important feedback and the team will do everything they can to improve. The parallel system is here, it has been built, we just need to support the builders in any way we can. If not you, then who? No normies are on NOSTR, using bitcoin or ever heard of podcast2.0 V4V platforms. Step up. LFG. View quoted note →

Super excited for this I know you guys just keep shipping So WEN recording function ;D

Looks fantastic 🦾

I like this direction. I think the pricing is a bit steep though. Captivate is $19 a month, unlimited podcasts but capped downloads at 30k. Pricing goes up from there solely on how many downloads you get per month.

How do we earn for bringing podcasters over to Fountain?
