Wednesday, July 29, 2026 Our feed parser is updated for the new elements for RSSchat. # I want one social network with lots of branches where ideas flow in ways people want them to flow. Take the big corps out of the middle. # Learnings from Andy Hertzfeld # Listened to this podcast interview with Andy Hertzfeld one of the lead devs on the Macintosh, he talks about his time at General Magic and Google too. # His interviewers were surprised that he likes developing with AI tools. People think that developing is just coding, but that's only part of it, and when you put that aside and become the director, script writer, choreographer, the whole thing, all of a sudden: # you have time to try out every idea because it's free and fast. # you have time to work on interop, building bridges between your software and other people's. # a very long list of other things you can do that one person cou...

Tuesday, July 28, 2026 When the walls came down # Yesterday's Scripting News was one of the most news-full days in a long time, maybe going back to the rollout of RSS 2.0 in September 2002 . If you look at what's there, a post about re-opening the Frontier object database format would be considered the top item on any other day, but it's the last of the untitled posts for the day. # At the top of the page , a surprise that Matthias Pfefferle at Automattic had built a substantial (and unforeseen!) bridge between WordPress and RSS.chat. It builds on the new features. This may turn out to be the moment RSS started being accepted as a social web protocol by the insiders, alongside ActivityPub and AT Proto. # Look at what we've done. I stress we. Matthias didn't need to tell us about what he did until it was done. That my friends is how the web works, that's what I've been trying to show you, and now it has been s...

Monday, July 27, 2026 This is something . WordPress now supports RSS.chat in an interesting way, and it's surprisingly deep. Once it's cross-posted a message to RSS.chat, any comment in response will be cross-posted to the comment thread on RSS.chat and vice versa. What's great about this is that you never can tell what people will do when you are on the web. Matthias is a friend, I was on his podcast last year. If people use this connection and see how it works, then we'll get an idea of where to go next. # BTW, I had no idea the WordPress connection was coming and here it is. # Of course we have a feed for RSS.chat updates. # How we document APIs . We did a lot of work on API docs this morning. Claude had done a draft, which we published, and turned over to users, and on review realized it was insufficient. That was the word I used, and rolled up my sleeves, told Claude we're going to get this stuff right and set ...

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...
