Fountain 1.2 is live on iOS and Android 🚀
This massive update brings significant design and UX improvements across the app along with a new episode summaries features. Here's what's new:

Library Design Update
We've made it much easier to navigate between podcasts and music in your library with the addition of the new content-type filters. The Recently Played view allows you to quickly jump back into what you were listening to before and the design of the content cards have been refreshed too.

Content Pages Design Update
All of the different content pages have undergone an extensive redesign, including shows, episodes, artists, albums, tracks, clips and playlists. We’ve replaced the tab layout with scrollable pages, improved the formatting of show notes and revamped features like chapters and transcripts.

Episode Summaries
Every episode page now has a Summary button above the show notes. Simply pay 500 sats to unlock a summary, or upgrade to Fountain Premium for $2.99/month to enjoy unlimited summaries. Summaries and transcripts now come as a bundle, and they’re now faster, cheaper, and more accurate than ever before.

Playback Improvements
We’ve completely rebuilt our audio engine from the ground up. Playback is now more robust and reliable — especially for music. Tracks now play instantly when tapped, and if you're playing an album, or playlist, you can now skip next and previous seamlessly. We've also made some design updates to the player for easier access show notes, comments, transcripts and chapters, and we added a smart resume feature for podcasts.
We would love to hear how you’re finding Fountain 1.2. Please submit your thoughts and feedback via the main menu in the app and we will take it on board as we continue to improve the app.

Congrats team 👏👏👏
The app has always been good but damn, this is the best update yet. Take out the Bitcoin feature and it is still hands down way better than anything else in the App Store. You’d think a trillion dollar tech company made it. Well done, keep up the great job nostr:nprofile1qqsx2wyjt6lmvc05rrvv05r5hm3w3t7h0pcpmkyswrpd4ymd2u09tscprdmhxue69uhkummnw3erztn5w4hxuetvwdshguewvdhk6qgawaehxw309ahx7um5wgkhqatz9emk2mrvdaexgetj9ehx2aqq6t0ag
Thank you that means a lot! 🙏
When on Zapstore Ozzy?
There is no second best podcasting app! 💜

Fountain is an unnecessary middle man, which is contrary to the ethos of peer to peer and Bitcoin
love it. my favourite podcast player. keep it up.
What about advocating for general BOLT12 adoption instead of engaging in arguments over individual apps?
Or do I miss something here?
Logging in with Amber seems to be broken. Spins for a while and then gives me this:

Amber is working with other apps just fine, and the issue persists after reinstall and reboot.
I have questions?

To je apka na nostr?
Where is the link to app? Where do I find it?
Super clean ui and much more stable. Only thing it needs now is #40HPW stats.
🔥🔥🔥🔥
Great improvements! I like the fresh library! 🧡
Very nice update, was a pleasant surprise when I saw it!
Looks Great! 🎉

Since I started following my manager's new trading plan, I've seen a significant improvement in my financial situation. I'm truly grateful for the support I'm receiving—earning $150,000 as a beginner in crypto trading is a huge milestone. If you're looking to get started, I highly recommend reaching out to Mrs. Susan.

Great. I do not understand why I did not found it...
This account is consciously a reactive, critical account to harmful trends I see gaining currency in the Bitcoin space. Which doesn't make it a high value account to follow, I agree, but its aim is to simply inflict small pinpricks against hubris and groupthink, which may give the poster under whom I comment some cause for reflection (unlikely) or give the viewers of the post some pause for thought (also unlikely but more probable).
(The above is on the premise that there is at least some truth in my criticism, which may not always be the case of course. I'm not claiming to be 'the voice of reason' and am open to pushback).
Now with respect to Fountain, here is an initial list of why I call it out. I could add more points but these three are a start (and mostly off the cuff).
Scam markers for the Fountain app :
* Initially heavily promoted itself as a 'listen to earn' platform. This clearly made no sense as a 'business model' and was an obvious typical VC play to burn money early to gain a user base. Users have for a while been complaining they no longer earn from listening and that there was no announcement from the company that this 'feature' was being deprecated. It was simply quietly wound down.
* An early VC investor was Anthony Pompliano, whose involvement is a clear scam marker in itself
* Fountain undermines the decentralised technology of podcasts, replacing RSS feeds with its custom Fountain URLs and promoting itself as a centralised proprietary platform for following podcasts and interacting with other listeners. Of course it's not alone in doing this and several other bigger players are trying to privatize the podcast space in a similar way. Nevertheless, it is a part of this deplorable trend.
I ommited answering what I think is yr actual point. Why rail against scams (however perceived) when one could spend one's time more productively advocating for or developing real solutions?
I agree it's a good point and obviously Satoshi and the cypherpunks took exactly this path. "Real cypherpunks write code"
The minor defence I would offer up is that I'm trying, in a very small way, to run interference on the code that's been written
You identified my general point correctly. Please allow me some time to consider and respond to your additional points, I appreciate the explanations.
Hey thanks for letting us know - we are looking into it.
Thanks for this great app! It took a mention on Tom Woods for me to find it, but I'm glad I did.
I created a handful of accounts trying to get my npub linked to my e-mail address… Is there a way to consolidate accounts or delete/relink so my e-mail address and npub are linked to the same Fountain profile?
The custom URLs stand out to me here, what speaks against leaning heavier on such concrete technical points? Make the criticism informative, which some of your other posts do tend to achieve.
Fountain 1.2.2 is live on iOS and Android 📲
This update contains a couple of bug fixes for playback issues that were reported in the last week or so.
We hope you've been enjoying Fountain and please keep the feedback coming 💪
