The Podverse website is now V4V enabled 🥳

Compatible with any WebLN + keysend compatible wallet (like Alby).

https://podverse.fm/episode/j6hSyWX93

The best part about our new V4V feature is it uses an open source library that anyone can add to their website.

To V4V enable your website, just load the webln-v4v script, and pass in the value tag and other information to the <webln-v4v> webcomponent.

Library: https://github.com/podverse/webln-v4v

Sample <webln-v4v> usage: https://github.com/podverse/webln-v4v/blob/main/public/index.html#L16-L28

You can now stream sats directly to Geyser crowdfunding campaigns directly through Fountain.

Send a Boost and see it show up on the Geyser activity list along with your Fountain profile info.

@adam

I went ahead and built it this weekend. If the you select Create a New Feed, you have the choice of a podcast or music album. If your <podcast:medium> is 'music', it changes the UI to make it more intuitive for a band to build a feed using existing namespace items.

Here's an example with Stay Awhile by Able and the Wolf. Notice how the names of things are different, like Song title instead of Episode title.

Free 1000 sats for new Fountain users this weekend - if anyone you know has been on the fence - nows the time!

I want to take a moment to thank @dave for his tireless work on improving the index aggregation systems.

This is a huge task that probably never ends, and is not something that is visible to most.
