Scripting News: Thursday, July 16, 2026

Added a layer to the Docs menu, the blog posts I've written here and elsewhere, and a podcast, in the Blog posts section.#
I needed a nice image for the OG Metadata, so I turned to Gemini. I know it reeks of AI, I hate that, but I need this right now. #
I asked Gemini if it was familiar with rss.chat, it wrote a one page description, better than anything I've written. Pulls it all together. #
Claude is a member of the rss.chat group. #
Server upgrade: We made it easier to set up a new instance of the rss.chat server. If you have subscribed to a feed, you should change the URL in your reader app, the new issue explains what changed. #
  • Now it's easy to find an author's feed on rss.chat.#
  • Click the feed icon to see the feed on rss.chat. You can then give this URL to any feed reader.#
  • Now each post is visibly connected to the author's feed.#
  • This is how we're building out. Our job is to make it easy to write feeds for groups of users as small as one and as big as you can imagine. And be open about it so we get lots of competition that interops with us and everything we interop with. This is the step that makes it the web. #
  • We will keep beating the drum, showing users of today's readers how they can hook in, right now, nothing to wait for. And as time goes by, if it works, the reader developers will be interested in how they can use the extra features. #
  • This is how I think every social network work, start moving out of their silo, with determination. By offering this option, we put the idea out there that there can be a single social network on the web. We can work together make it happen. The social web of the web. ;-)#
  • Please come along on this journey. #
  • There's going to be lots of new tech coming online. #
  • I want everyone to be a part of it. #
