In this episode, Reed and I compared notes on what it actually looks like to build Podcasting 2.0 and Nostr-native apps in public. We dug into the messy but exciting reality of “vibe coding,” from reusing proven open-source components and leaning on Claude for implementation help, to the limits of trust when Lightning payments and wallet permissions are involved. We also talked about why interoperability matters so much right now: shared favorites, cross-app discovery, public boost data, and lightweight patterns that let multiple apps coordinate without reinventing the stack every time.We also spent a good chunk of time on music. I walked through the playlist and curation experiments feeding Boost Me Bitch, Music Side Project, and the broader V4V music ecosystem, while Reed explained how he’s thinking about charts, discoverability, and social listening on OnlyBoosts. From BitDevs and Bitcoin developer culture to UI cleanup, backup flows, follow-list disasters, and the future of music playlists, this one was a wide-ranging conversation about building useful tools fast without losing sight of reliability, usability, or the bigger open-protocol vision.Local Bitcoiners: https://localbitcoiners.com/OnlyBoosts: https://onlyboosts.social/Boost Me Bitch: https://www.boostmebitch.com/Boost Me Buddy: https://www.boostmebuddy.com/Minibits: https://minibits.cash/Wisp: https://wisp.mobile/Castamatic: https://castamatic.com/Podcast Guru: https://podcastguru.io/CurioCaster: https://curiocaster.com/Music Side Project: https://musicsideproject.com/V4V Music: https://v4vmusic.com/V4V Music Public Tagging API: https://v4vmusic.com/public-tagging-api.htmlSidecar | A Classy Nostr Signer: https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/sidecar-a-classy-nostr-si/moimlikilhheabdafocpmneehpblhilnSpark: https://www.spark.money/ecosystemeCash App: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.fedimint.app&hl=en_US
