Thanks for your kind words!
-
on the podcast timestamp notes idea - this is definitely something we want to offer going forward - would you mind sending an email to hello@fountain.fm with as much detail as possible on how you would like to use the notes so we have a record of it in our system?
-
on the transcript export - this is actually possible today but it's a bit hidden. If you tap on the search icon on the transcript page you will go to the full screen transcript view and there should be a menu option in the top-right where you can export the transcript as a .txt
Thanks again for the feedback and please reach out any time if you have more ideas on how we can improve!
If you’re into history - I’d recommend Fall of Civilisations podcast - https://fountain.fm/show/av2LbjrFBcOKNve7FU99
Thanks @Car!
If you've claimed a show on Fountain you should see the option to view the rewind for your show too which includes top supporters for 2024.

Yes sorry we had an issue that cropped up yesterday which was logging some users out (I experienced it too)
This is now fixed in the latest version 1.1.10 - https://blog.fountain.fm/p/1-1-10
A few things I'd do differently:
-
focus on the native audio apis sooner rather than relying on open-source libraries which were buggy and not well supported - if we had taken the time early on to build our own audio libraries it would have saved us a lot of re-work later
-
become more of an expert in the ios and android profiling tools earlier - this kind of stuff is not as fun as building features / ui / logic - but the tools are incredibly helpful for improving performance and building a deeper understanding of how the mobile operating systems work
-
make as many of the ui elements as generic as possible - mobile interactions are well defined and there's no need to re-invent the wheel
I would definitely use Flutter again - overall have been really happy with it.
The thing that I'm really interested in seeing and is actually more of a meta-layer is new kinds of notifications - this may sound incredibly boring haha - but if you think about the kinds of notifications that 2009 / 10 facebook and their developer platform offered - I think there will be a resurgence in these kinds of experiences built on nostr. I think games is an area that could massively benefit from this - but also any other consumer social products too. Even the simplest notification you might want to build:
"9 of your friends joined {app} this week!" is impossible with the current locked down social platforms / contact list permissions.
I think it's going to massively change the way we consume podcasts. The tools we're going to see over the next few years will be incredible and I hope Fountain can build some of them (stay tuned).
However I don't think it will affect how people create podcasts as much. People listen to podcasts for the human connection and even this won't be easily replaced.
I think there will be a split between human produced podcasts and AI produced podcasts which will feel like different things as a listener. The AI ones probably won't be referred to as podcasts - but they'll be very interesting!
Improving the search is one of our top priorities and I hope to have something released before the end of this year.
What was the number one thing you found difficult about the navigation?
On the nostr requirement - you don't need to connect nostr to send a boost to a podcaster - only to reply - you can create a new / throwaway nostr profile right in the app so I don't think it's too much effort. We definitely need to explain it better though.
