Sunday, July 26, 2026 New docs for the browser JavaScript interface to the RSS.chat API. # Scott Hanson has a new service that connects RSS.chat to WordPress. # Many of the questions about RSS.chat center on how do we make this centralized. I don't want this, I want feed readers to add some features and then we can connect these systems together in a million different ways. They just have to think differently about subscription lists. Not radically different, even. # A note to people who run WordCamp conferences. Please, there should be a feed for each event, and as you ramp up to the big day, the news should flow faster. Help people find other people to network with. Get ideas out that aren't in the conference program. # rss.chat isn't really a product # It's what we used to call a coral reef . A deliberate attempt to get people to do more than it does. To think about the web the way it w...

Saturday, July 25, 2026 How can you tell you’re working on the web? When you do something new and innovative you help your competitors‘ users without forcing them to use your product. They are free to stay where they are and still get the benefit. People choose your product because it’s better for what they’re doing, or it feels better now, or whatever. We want the web to be the platform and it's cool because there is no platform vendor. # Example code is not expected to be bullet proof like production code, and where covering different cases make it harder to follow they should not be there. # RSS.chat has an API # It's a standard REST API. # Here's the server side of the API. # Here's how you call it from browser-based JavaScript . You can include that code in your apps. # Here's an example app that implements a simple blog builder for my recent posts on RSS.chat. We were thinking about doin...

Friday, July 24, 2026 RSS.chat worknotes are a feed now. Updated when there's a new feature or fix. Same info is on the worknotes pages in the repo . # Dear podcast client devs # Podcast client developers -- don't give up like this guy did. Yes RSS is delicious but you all haven't done anything new with it since 2004 or so. No wonder the competition is catching up, they're actually delivering new features while you all haven't done a thing. RSS is like other web stuff, if you want to move forward you have to do things that will help your competitors. Stick your neck out, innovate, and smile when your competitors copy it. There is more to do. # Subscribable subscription lists would allow anyone to maintain a list of great podcasts, curated -- like a mutual fund, or a top 20 list. This has always been the problem with podcasting. Find me something good to listen to now. All the shows tend to repeat. I've hea...

Thursday, July 23, 2026 A new feature on rss.chat, images . Up to 2MB per. User interface couldn't be simpler, get the image on your clipboard, start editing your post, put the cursor where you want the image, paste. Prior art was GitHub and Slack. It was driving me crazy not having this feature. I think perhaps I should add this to textcasting . It's a feature I needed to be reminded is essential. The first browser to support inline images came from Univ of Illinois in 1993, NCSA Mosaic. It didn't come from TBL , but it is most definitely a standard feature of the web. # Amyloo , a longtime friend from the early days of podcasting, has made an appearance on demo.rss.chat . So happy to see her. Here's one of the bits we did, back then in the very early days of podcasting in 2005. A duet of Green Acres. Ten seconds of dead air at the beginning, it was pretty common in those days. But I think the spirit of it is lovely. BTW fwiw I cracked my...

Wednesday, July 22, 2026 RSS.chat now supports SQLite . Simpler and faster to install. You don't have to host a database, it's now built into the server. Full instructions . Questions or issues . # Reminder: We have a demo server for anyone who wants to try RSS.chat. I'm glad we set this up. It's sort of like support, and bug catching. # How the web got gunked # Posted on Twitter in the middle of last night, written on iPad. # I use twitter these days because it’s where the people are. # The distributed ideas, masto, threads, blue-sky, did not gain critical mass as far as I can see. # Threads and blue-sky are not distributed. distributable is not the same as being distributed. It’s like saying the 1962 Mets were able to win the world series. In some fashion perhaps in an alternate universe, in reality, not gonna happen. # At some point we will give up on that approach and adopt the only model...

Tuesday, July 21, 2026 RSS.chat -- I don't have enough places to fit all the ideas these days. But we have been digging and the pieces fit together pretty well. # Three-part ecosystem # There are three parts to the rss.chat ecosystem. # Writing. Today's rss.chat product is a group writing system, designed for a school department, a team of developers, a family, a magazine or group blog, or just as well, a single author. I don't think it would work well with 1000 users, because it doesn't implement the concept of "follow." And imho it's important that the people are colleagues, family or friends, people invested in real world relationships with each other, so they don't drop a turd in the conversation and just expect to walk away. I've found that dynamic works most of the time. But important point -- all kinds of writing tools can exist. Any social app can to be part of this, all they'd...

Monday, July 20, 2026 Two methods for creating standards: bootstrap and boil the ocean . # John Johnston got inboundRss working, so now he can automatically post to his WordPress blog from demo.rss.chat . These are the kinds of things that "just work" when standards are used to connect to the outside world. WordPress, as I've been saying so long, has all the right hooks to be the place where text and publishing meet on the web. They've been reluctant to step into that role, but I think it'll be realllly good for Matt's company and the community . A lot of fresh developers can come in via the web. That's how I personally approach WordPress. A place to send text so it can be widely read. A growing foundation for a community to build on, and would imho help the web enormously. # Howard Rheingold is just the kind of person rss.chat was designed it for. And here he is asking what it is. Very fortuitous. And if you...
