Such a great release! Used to use Breez but now Fountain is my "daily driver" for podcasts!

Trying to get there but that battery drain is killer

I know that was a problem before but I haven't noticed it too much lately. What OS are you using it on?

iOS. Would like to make it my main but always run into issues. Sphinx chat pod player doesn’t roast my phone

There is still a bit of an issue but we've improved things a lot so make sure you install the latest version.

We have a complete re-write of the audio library coming soon which should resolve for good.

Sweet! Great update!

Couple questions, feedbacks:

When funding the Fountain wallet, could you add a button to open another wallet on the same phone? (currently it's annoying to copypaste the invoice)
Is there a way to mark episode as "played"? E.g. I have watched that episode on youtube... do I have to "delete" it?
On the homepage with the "popular clips" section I wanted to see more of those... and it was not intuitive that I have to click on the magnifier and even then - how can I see more than 3 clips? I want moar!! :D
Is there a way to boost sats to clips? That would be cool (either to author of the clip or the podcaster)
Since I now have nout @fountain.fm and nout @stacker.news... I'm thinking that soon we will need some personal address book for those :) @Alby, what about adding address book to the extension?

Thanks for all the feedback this is really helpful!

Yes we should do this - will prioritise.

Is there a way to mark episode as "played"? E.g. I have watched that episode on youtube... do I have to "delete" it?

No right now episodes are split into "Saved" which are on your device and "Episodes" which are all episodes from the RSS feed. We might change this though and just have a list of episodes with more filters such as saved / played etc.

On the homepage with the "popular clips" section I wanted to see more of those... and it was not intuitive that I have to click on the magnifier and even then - how can I see more than 3 clips? I want moar!!

Yes the home page needs a lot of improving - will have more to share soon!

Is there a way to boost sats to clips? That would be cool (either to author of the clip or the podcaster)

Not yet but we're thinking about this!

Since I now have nout @fountain.fm and nout @stacker.news... I'm thinking that soon we will need some personal address book for those :) @Alby, what about adding address book to the extension?

Yes I think people will have more and more Lightning Addresses. Ideally at some point everyone just has 1 or 2 and you'd be able to login to different services with your preferred address - e.g. login to Fountain with Stacker News.

Thank you for the replies a d clarifications. One more thing - is there a way to see boostagrams? The BOOST button shows some number, but I don't know how to get to it?

31 sats \ 1 reply \ @MerryOscar OP 29 Apr 2022

Yes this is not clear - just click on the image to go to the episode page and view the boosts - you can also access in the three dot menu.

Oh I see! Yeah, it would be (imo) great if there would be access point from the boost dialog :)

Also there's a UI bug: When you are playing an episode and "minimize" it and go to "Wallet", then the "FUND WALLET" button is hidden behind the minimized episode box.
