Fountain v1.1.5: Pay BOLT-11 Invoices, Artist Pages, Library Improvements
Fountain v1.1.5 is now available for both Android and iOS. Fountain is a Lightning-powered value-for-value podcasting app and a Nostr client.
- This new version features a streamlined content library for better performance, the capability to pay BOLT-11 invoices directly through the podcast app, and a dedicated Artist page where you can view all tracks by a specific artist.
"It’s now possible to pay for anything in bitcoin with your podcast app. Next time you’re buying a coffee and you can pay in bitcoin, open Fountain, scan the invoice and watch the cashier lose their mind," said the project in a blog post.
What's new
- Simpler Library Architecture. Removed over 40,000 lines of code to deliver:
- A new offline caching database for more reliable and less resource-intensive offline playback.
- A simpler data model for reduced mobile data and memory use.
- Fixes to playback issues such as queue re-arranging.
- Pay BOLT-11 Invoices. Fountain wallet now lets you:
- Pay Lightning invoices: scan any lightning invoice or paste from your clipboard to send bitcoin payments.
- LNURL-Withdraw: you can also generate an invoice that you can paste into other lightning wallets.
- Artist Pages. You can now access the Artist page from any Track or Album page to view and play all tracks by that artist. Additionally, you can skip tracks in the player, or add them to your library, queue, or playlist.
- Artist search functionality will be added soon.
