Le serveur RSSchat est passé à la version v0.6.7 sans encombre

From my vim to your feed If you can read this, my bash scripts are functional. Not pretty, but functional. The rss.chat API docs have improved substantially, saving me from going down some deep rabbit holes.

Here to report that I fairly easily installed an RSS.chat server on my webhost at RSS.storian.org (whitelisted to me only for now). I wrote a first post and immediately subscribed to my feed in my installation of Feedland (Zuiker tab in my News Product). Will stop here for the night, satisfied.

Now posting to my new rss.chat account with the same email address as my blog admin. Just a quick late night test. Hopefully any replies there will come back here as comments. Using the new WordPress to rss.chat plugin.

My evening signoff in textcasting land
NBA reporters should take some time off. It’s almost August. Now if I were a betting man I’d bet against the team the Sixers have cobbled together. Sports teams esp in basketball are not the sum of the parts. It probably won’t gel. They only have one proven solid player in Tyrese Maxie. Otherwise one sophmore, and two frail old timers. Would’ve been a lot easier and more fun if LeBron had gone to Golden State. An old timers extravaganza hits the road. expect nothing but a good time and lots of hugs and laughs.
I used to write these silly little late night posts on blue sky, but I don’t know. I got tired of the character limit and so I decided to flip on over to RSS.chat and folks here I am and I’m happy to say I don’t give a shit about how many characters I’m typing and all the rest of that bullshit thinking about what next features I wanna add here.
I definitely want support linkblogging. It’s a real thing. It’s where you have a bookmarklet installed and when you see an article that you want to share in your feed you click that bookmark and it switches you over into in this case RSS.chat and you get the title or the description whatever you happen to have selected when you click the button any you also have it remember the link which interestingly enough goes into the link element on the item that represents this post and that’s how you can tell the difference between a linkblog post and a regular old post.

I have updated the rss.chat server and node packages with the latest code as of 7/26/2026, this should incorporate the security fix mentioned last week.

I'm experimenting with API calls, working purely from the api.md document. Currently, I have been able to post here using /newpost. Here are the things I'm attempting to understand:
When we say that "description" is HTML, do we mean HTML fragments, or a complete document?
What happens if I populate both description and markdowntext?

I seem to have rss.chat running on my Raspberry Pi. Not very stable at the moment. Needed a bit of help from chatGPT joining the dns, apache virtual hosts & ports up. I got as far as locally, then locally network by myself. I had to ask questions to get the rest in order.
It seems quite a good way to do things, using a free account. I run out of questions and then take a break. This allows me to do some thinking myself, I might learn something.
I've also tested the API running bash scripts from TextMate. Posting, editing & delete have worked.

rss.chat to WordPress service
I've been running a server that mirrors posts from my rss.chat feed to my WordPress site https://wordland.shanson.de/ automatically — no browser tab required. It connects to the rss.chat firehose and calls the WordPress.com API whenever I publish or edit a post. Edits flow through too.
The code is at https://github.com/scotthansonde/rsschat-wordpress-service, if you care to try it out. The requirements are similar to WordLand. You'll need a WordPress.com account (or a self-hosted site with Jetpack), and about 15 minutes to set it up.
It's based on the inboundRss example, but I wanted it to run on the server instead of the browser.

About image metadata:
If I open an image in Mac Preview, for example, then copy the image and paste it into a post on demo.rss.chat, the posted image does not contain metadata such as GPS altitude, GPS date/time, GPS latitude, or GPS longitude.
However, if I copy the image file itself (for example, from Finder) and paste it into a post on demo.rss.chat, the posted image does contain all of that metadata, including GPS altitude, GPS date/time, GPS latitude, and GPS longitude.
Is this the intended behavior, or should the metadata be stripped before the image is saved by rss.chat?
Maybe non-technical users should be made aware of this?
- This post is coming from a bash script.

Hello RSS Chat World
-
Just deployed a new version. This is a test.
The new version can do nightly backups of the database, and it creates the feed when when the user signs on, everyone has a feed even if they haven't posted.
- Sometimes you forget that when you assign a 'single source of truth' across all domains for say something like your logo across all spaces - you really shouldn't move that source of truth on the server when you are futzing around doing something else. 🤦🏼♂️ FIXED

API is documented, new example app
I see lots of people trying to figure out the API by reading the code.
Now we have docs and a great example app for building a trivial blog from one person's posts. A practical example of using the API and hopefully food for thought. There are lots of ways of generating websites and people with preferences for all of them.
All this is listed in a blog post on Scripting News.

New API call
Lots of new stuff coming out this morning.
But this one bit didn't belong among the others.
Remember the ThreadWalker example app.
We decided to make that an API call, documented here.

Now that I know that rss.chat updates the feed on every change, I am puzzled. Won't each change trigger readers to pull yet again?

First cut of support for hosting rss.chat on Cloudflare has been checked into cloudflare branch of my fork.
Haven't even kicked the tires yet but at least it's up and public at.
https://rsschat.wizops.workers.dev
PS: Reload after navigation to see the product name displayed. Looks like an issue from moving static JSON based config to database.
PS2: I haven't looked at the code so I don't see why anyone else should. I did however spent some quality time with my coding agent to produce the PLAN.md file so that might be worthwhile reading if anything. -

Hello rss.chat
Well, this feels a bit like wandering backstage and discovering the people quietly rebuilding the theater while everyone else is arguing about the popcorn.
Hi again. I’m nakedjen.
I tell stories. I collect humans. I believe the internet can still surprise us.
I’m thrilled to be hanging out with people who casually reinvent the internet before breakfast. Bash the silos. Rebuild the web. Let people own their own words again.
Write. Publish.
Boom.
Thanks for making room for another storyteller.

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!

Worknotes RSS feed
Worknotes, updates on new features and fixes in RSS.chat, are now a feed.

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.
