I have an rss.chat UI added to my naive Elixir/Phoenix-built news reader (which started out with the API from feedbin). I only have a couple of unanswered questions:
1. rss.chat feed permalinks are based on the screenname. What happens if a user wants to change her handle?
2. the API indicates that an item can have an enclosure, but I don’t see how to post an item with an enclosure either vis the frontend or via the API.
3. Are there any ideas about how to grow a federation of rss.chat servers? (This question may expose my naivite concerning RSS’s inbound and outbound possibilities.)
1. That's a new account, and a new feed.
2. We were planning ahead, leaving space for an enclosure. We don't have a UI for that yet.
3. Yes, use OPML, create a list of servers. That's what software that wants to work with federations will require as input.
I can't help with the technicalities but these are relevant to your third question
