Cool!

With this, I feel like you have 50% of an app I've been trying and failing to build.

The problem is, most people are pretty much set on the podcast app they use (mostly Spotify, Apple Podcasts etc.).

I've had way too many issues with Fountain so reverted to AntennaPod (no boosts), so my dream boosting app would work like this (working title: PodBooster)

- Installs as a PWA, login with nostr/connect wallet via NWC
- Acts as a share sheet item
- Share/open/paste the podcast link in PodBooster
- PodBooster parses the link (Spotify link, RSS url, etc), and tries to find the corresponding podcast/episode in Podcastindex
- IF not Podcasting 2.0 friendly - Show a message
- IF supports Podcasting 2.0 value tag, allow the user to Boost + Post a Boost message

The parsing of different link types seems to be the challenging part.

Would absolutely love this though, because Spottily purists have no excuse not to boost then! (plus, I can boost from AntennaPod)

Anyway, brain dump over.
