What's wrong about the web for listening to podcasts? Why do I need an app?

And couldn't the "Support us via lightning: 1f73ac220b9..." link have a protocol like "lightning://" prefixed, so when the users clicks it, their preferred payment method pops up?




Actually the Podcasting 2.0 app Fountain does have a web app! https://www.fountain.fm/radio

By all accounts though (podcasting stats) people almost always listen to them on mobile devices, an app being the logical choice there.

The hosted lightning wallet Alby does have similar functionality you're thinking of, it's built as a browser plugin though. https://getalby.com
