Add Value 4 Value to a RSS Reader
Description: Feedbin is a popular hosted and open source RSS reader. Similar to podcast players we can integrate lightning Value 4 Valye payments into an RSS reader. The reader extracts the lightning details (e.g. the keysend information similar to the podcast:value tag) and allows the user to send lightning payments to the author directly from the reader. Integrate WebLN or the Alby OAuth API to make this possible.
Payout: 150k sats

Value 4 Value web-player with boost and sats streaming option
Description: Many podcasts integrate lightning based Value 4 Value payments that allow listeners (with a player that supports it) to stream payments and send boostagrams to the podcaster. All this based on open standards. This bounty is to integrate the WebLN JavaScript interface into a web audio player that allows podcasters to embed their episodes on their websites and listeners to send boosts from the web. See for example the player on nodesignal.space. As player could be used: shikwasa or amplitudejs or howlerjs for example.
Payout: 175k sats
Create a Bitcoin Lightning monetization plugin for peer-tube
Description: PeerTube is a free and open-source, decentralized, federated video platform. For example BitcoinTV uses peer-tube to provide their great service. Alby already supports tipping to Lightning Addresses on Twitter, YouTube and BitcoinTV. But a native integration of Lightning payments into peer-tube instances would allow much more functionalities for visitors and creators. You can think of a Wordpress widget for accepting Lightning payments but for video platforms running on peer-tube.

Add value4value payments to podcastindex.org
Description: Alby now supports keysend payments and this means we can now support podcast value4value payments. The podcastindex.org has a nice web app and player to show podcast details and play the episodes. Example page: Einundzwanzig We could add "boost" buttons to allow users to send payments while listening to the episode or simple to send sats to each of the listed recipients. This should be simple keysend payments to the node keys that the podcastindex already shows.

Linux installer for the Alby companion app
Currently worked on. PR: https://github.com/getAlby/alby-installer-linux/pull/4
Description: To connect to nodes behind Tor Alby uses a so called native companion app. For Windows and for MacOS we have installers to copy the executable and configure the browser to use the companion app. This is missing for Linux. This is basically a simple app that copies some files and generates a browser specific JSON file.
Issue: ping us if you're interested in working on this.
Payout: 250k sats
