@stani:What you would love to see being built on Lens?

A dedicated Lens Music app.  

dBridge explains why he's using Nina Protocol 

'Some of you may be wondering why I don't release it on Bandcamp. I want to have a place outside of this ecosystem that I can release music as and when I like. Exit has a release schedule and structure I don't want to interfere with, but mainly I like the ethos of Nina for me as an artist and label. 

I will be making the Exit Catalogue available on Nina going forward. The fact that artists and labels get 100% of sales also means I can pass some of that 15% saving on a digital file to you. Bandcamp has served a purpose, but with it's recent sale to Songtrdr, I see it as just a matter of time before Universal Music buys it and I don't really want to feed that beast any more than I have to. I always preferred our own Exit Store back in early 2000s and I'd like to take it back to that eventually and with Nina I can implement downloads on my own site using their API sometime in the future.'

    I think one huge benefit of a dedicated music app would also be that it would eliminate all the bot posts etc. If the whole feed is filtered only to media containing music, you'd (hopefully anyway) get a much higher quality of content to enjoy. And it would also ensure that - at the outset anyway - artists would stand a better chance of being seen/heard and therefore it would be more beneficial for growing that artist/creator community.

      GM. @buttrfly isn’t a “dedicated” music app but it has sound Xyz in it. If you collect songs on Lens you can make a group for them and play through them natively.
