4/4 - As a creator you can also turn off chapter and/or transcript requests.

3/4 - Equally, you can also just buy the transcript for yourself and then share it with everyone else to read it for free.
Finally, for podcasters who are with hosts that do not support Podcasting 2.0 tags, we show fans a table of Podcasting 2.0 hosts and encourage fans to as the podcaster to […]

2/4 - For example, The News Agents podcast is produced by Global and hosted by Captivate.
Captivate support both chapters and transcript tags. Global could choose to publish both chapters and transcripts, but currently they choose not to.

@russell yes the RSS feed is the feed of truth. We do that for all tags. We have a funding option in TrueFans but if we see a funding URL in the RSS feed, then we use that instead. But as you know, some hosts support new tags and others don't. We enable creators to use all the tags even if […]

@russell Yes and No. The LIT tag offers an XMPP chat URL. Adam and Dave use the field for Podcasting 2.0 on a Friday night but it's an external link to an external app. We could embed that link into our UI but it's ugly.
So this is just a local TrueFans app feature for users on TrueFans. I […]

3/3 - Sadly, we have no real-time chat option yet but it's on the roadmap and coming soon.
So you will be able to Co-Listen with friends and also chat to one or more friends about the same episode at the same time. #socialpodcasting

2/3 - Our next update to this feature is to add a real-time chat window so you can communicate together as you listen live together.
Below is my friend Neal Veglio, I got a notification that he was listening live to this week's Podnews Weekly Review.
After clicking the link, I can see he was […]

@russell the status quo needs changing

@russell not sure I understand. All we are doing is listing the tags a hosts does or does not offer. We then inform users that these hosts support chapters or transcripts. We have affiliate links to the hosts. Step 1 we are pushing the users to you. Our goal is to drive traffic to P2.0 hosts […]

3/3 - Here is an example of Podnews Daily being paid £0.03 from my £3 Support budget.
We also mark each episode you support with the support icon.
This quickly shows you that you have supported this episode. It means if you stream the episode again […]

2/3 - Unlike Patreon or Buy Me A Coffee, TrueFans only makes the support payment if/when the podcaster delivers new episodes. If they stop publishing new episodes, then no new support payment is made.
The next thing to do is to choose the amount you […]

3/3 - The last little feature we added this week was the new option, in the user settings, to have our media player pinned to the bottom of the page.
This means when you open TrueFans, we will store what you were listening to last and where you were in […]

@chris @james @mijustin @js Yep never build a social podcast app. ;-)

@phillycodehound 100% agree. However, yesterday we tested posting TrueFans activity to X profile accounts and supporting the Social Interact Tag if the url was in X. Both worked. The same as Bluesky and Mastodon.
We had already done all the hard working integrating X's OAuth and written the […]

2/2 - X/Twitter Integration & Gamification now costs $10K for their Enterprise V2 API access!!!
Back then, TrueFans would then pay each user 1K in SATS for each X follower they invited who subsequently joined.
We temporarily removed this feature as we […]
