If Alby didn't change its business model we wouldn't even be having this conversation. Everyone switch to Alby years ago and now you have to pay so PC 2.0 took it out back and killed. This has been Fountain and Alby this whole time and I love them both and I use AlbyHub daily to support podcasters and musicians because it's always worked but I had to build a node while I away put off because I couldn't send from it with 2.0 apps until AlbyHub and I've never been happier. I even have @chadf_boostbot that post said Boostagrams to Nostr so we're playing with stuff but it's the same stuff that's worked for almost 5 years. That said podcasting 2.0 is an open spec . PodcastindexOrg.org has all the data and you can access it with an API key. That's how I built itdv.podtards.com You can just build stuff... ps I'm just jaded but willing to help ;) talked with Oscar last night about this stuff.

Even if Alby had kept easy hosted wallets around, no major lightning wallet supports keysend. And when you consider what’s easiest for podcasts to give out on air Lnadress offers a familiar email address format. To be clear, I think it’s a real shame Keysend has not seen more love. and… it’s a shame lnadress is not Bolt12 ready which also solves some of this. But there is a hard reality we are up against. We are down to just Fountain and Alby compatible apps that can boost. Ironically fountain could just sit back and do nothing and they pretty much consolidate and lock up the entire boost market because they probably already have about 80% of it. They’re pretty much the last easy lightning wallet for boosting in town. And for the listener, it’s a lot less of an ask if they can use any lightning app that supports LNaddress to support the show. They could use strike or other apps directly even.
