Echo

Listen to podcasts while paying your favorite producers with Bitcoin over the Lightning Network

What we hope to add to Echo in the future:

- A dashboard for podcast producers to read their boostagrams
- Support for more node connection types via WebLN
- An even better UI and tighter UX
- A full-fledged mobile app

What you can do with Echo today:

- Search and play Podcast Index's 4 million+ podcasts, 9700+ of which can receive #Value4Value Bitcoin payments in real-time over the Lightning Network
- Manage subscriptions
- Send boosts and boostagram messages to your favorite producers

Why?

We love the concept of Podcasting 2.0 but weren't thrilled by the options for players available, which were either custodial or didn't have support for remote connections.

We wanted an app that allows you use the same node you have back home that you use with Zeus.
