I've been playing around with the clipping tool on Fountain for a couple of weeks now and I've shared a few of them on SN. One of the problems is that, as far as I can tell, they can only be shared as links and people generally don't like to follow links.
I think Fountain's idea for building social media around podcast clips is promising, but there just aren't that many people discussing episodes/clips on Fountain. Stacker News has far more discussion, and is just a better platform to have them, than Fountain.
It seems like there's a nice opportunity to reinforce what Fountain is trying to do, while also adding a nifty feature to Stacker News, if we could embed clips and episodes in our posts here.

@MerryOscar do you support embeds?
reply
not yet but we definitely need to add this capability - will prioritise!

We've actually been working on new clip video export formats which should be live at some point later next week:
@Undisciplined would love to get your feedback on these:


will see if we can get an embed format done

Still lots of work to do on the audio front first! :)

God speed!
It looks good so far, but I'm not usually looking at my phone while listening to podcasts.

Looks great! Recommend a border radius on the transcription text to match the podcast image.
