Hello everyone
Longtime listener. First time caller.
I’m nakedjen. I’ve been on the internet since it still made dial-up noises. I tell stories, I chase humans instead of algorithms, and I have somehow convinced Dave Winer that I belong in a room full of developers.
We’ll see.
Also, for the record, I’m always naked, even when I’m wearing clothes.

One thing we know for sure is that the AIs are incredible amplifiers of programmer creativity, and they’re getting better at that every month.
So the question is, will AI become as useful to users who are not programmers?
That’s what at least some of the programmers are working on.

I'm also exploring Buttondown, a newsletter mailing list software, which uses Markdown as its native format for composing emails, as part of my job managing a WordPress site for a non-profit. Buttondown can subscribe to any RSS feed and turn the items into a draft email (with the items' content converted from HTML to Markdown) that you can then tweak before sending it out to subscribers. I was able to create a custom RSS feed out of WordPress that has source:markdown content for its items, and now I'm trying to convince the Buttondown people to parse that out and have it appear in the draft without modification.

Work in progress
I had already started building a feed reader in Elixir in the past month or so. Now I'm adding RSS chat features. Very nice work, Dave. Long live RSS! Long live Markdown!

I've managed to get rss chat running on my Raspberry pi. Email via sendgrid working.
I could not get the whitelist to work, pasted the example into the config, changed the example emails, but then the server will not start?
Not a real problem as it only is accessible on the local network so far.

The SAVED indicator in the composer seems to "lie to me":
type something, see SAVED,
then cancel the overlay — or accidentally click outside it — and click New post again: the text is gone.
Bug, or am I missing something? - Apparently Dave has released an update for a security patch.

Thank you Dave!

Writing my blog from RSS.chat??
I'm thinking about maybe writing my blog from here, you know -- the one on scripting.com.
It wouldn't be that hard. I would use one of the static site generators out there.
It would just monitor my feed here, and keep them in sync.
What's the most popular site generator these days? I have no clue. But I have friends and I'm sure Claude has an idea.

La nécessaire bienveillance

Hey all :) This looks like a blast!

I'm trying out the API calls via curl. So far, so good. The prior post (saying "This is the post") was done entirely with curl.

The Simple Joy of “No Phones Allowed"
“Every time someone in a group of people deploys a screen, the whole group is affected. Each disengaged person in a crowd is like a little black hole, a dead zone for social energy, radiating a noticeable field of apathy towards the rest of the room and what’s happening there.”

Hello world. I'm testing to make sure that the server is working after another upgrade.

I've now foutered my way through sendgrid and for 100 days on the free plan I've got a way to sign into my localhost copy of rss chat.
I am going to try my Raspberry Pi next, probably at the weekend.

Hello, I just arrived here. As I posted to demo.rss.chat I managed to get this running on my mac, without much bother.
rss chat is now simper to set up so I gave it a wee go on local host. So far I've just run it from my downloads folder. The instructions worked but I am a node-no-nothing so I tripped a couple of times.
First I didn't npm install so nothing worked.
I tried to set up SMTP using SendGrid, but I lost the will to live half way through. Got an API key but
> Message failed: 550 The from address does not match a verified Sender Identity. Mail cannot be sent until this error is resolved. Visit https://sendgrid.com/docs/for-developers/sending-email/sender-identity/ to see the Sender Identity requirementsSo I just copied the magicString from the terminal and constructed my own url:
`http://localhost:1420/userconfirms?emailConfirmCode=ysugstk4yc\`Which did the trick.
Of course a localhost-one-person social network is not much use ;-) but interesting none the less.
Once I have braced myself and figured out SMTP I'll try this on my raspberry pi next.

Minor unexpected behavior
In a browser (e.g., Safari or Firefox on a Mac)
Click the post feed icon.
Click browser's Back button.
Click the post timestamp.
Click the post username.
Click browser's Back button again.
You should see the last post and the user's feed on the same page. -
Much better than Chatouk!🙄

This is great!
Thank you Dave 🤗
