Podverse Alpha update 🛠️
We are nearly ready to implement V4V in Podverse Alpha web...and I am completely out-of-date in terms of what the current practices are.
Can anyone direct me to resources I should follow for a web-based Bitcoin V4V implementation? Is the standard still keysend? Are there multiple types of implementations we should support by now?
@leanderlindahl Maybe Podverse is what you're looking for? https://podverse.fm/about It's already fediverse-ready.
There's also the federated Castopod platform to parallel UP, https://castopod.org/ Not quite Mastodon, but compatible through ActivityPub.

Podverse Alpha Update 🛠️
Added multiple Language support to the website.
This is one of my favorite features in Nextgen so far...we write a root language file in English, then before deploying, we use LLM to automatically translate the file into other languages, so it's effortless to add support for as many languages as we want.
We also have an "overrides" file for each language, so if LLM gives us funky translations, we can replace them as needed.
Podverse Alpha Update 🛠️
Push notifications have been added to Podverse Alpha web.
Listeners can configure 3 different types of notifications:
- New item (episode or music track)
- Livestream scheduled
- Livestream started
They can also set different settings for different feeds.
This was a lot of work to add. The code includes not only support for web, but an orchestrator to send notifications to also iOS and Android (when the mobile app is ready).
Hey ios people, which is FOR YOU the best open source IOS podcast app? I love using @AntennaPod for Android, and these are the 2 recommend apps from them:
#pocketcasts and #podverse
Wanna help someone changing that.... and tomorrow is the first https://di.day
Podverse Alpha Web update 🛠️
Added the Artists and Artist page.
This is our first implementation of Podcasting 2.0 "publisher" feeds.
A "publisher" feed is an RSS feed that contains references to other RSS feeds.
In general, individual Music RSS feeds represent an Album or Track of music.
Publisher feeds allow artists to group all of their Album RSS feeds under their artist name.

Podverse has started maintaining a fork of the Partytime RSS Feed parser library.
Partytime is a comprehensive Node.js RSS podcast feed parser, with support for all Podcasting 2.0 namespaces.
Thank you to @RyanHirsch and @dave for creating the library! The code is easy to work with, and the unit tests are appreciated 😄

Added playlist auto-queue support. When you press the play button on a playlist item, then after the item finishes playing, the next item from the playlist will play.
Enabled repeat and shuffle mode for playlist playback.
Fixed a variety of issues with the queue and auto-queue when pressing the previous track and next track buttons.
