Textcaster is now RSC — Really Simple Conversations
Same project, new name and new home.
RSC stands for Really Simple Conversations — a nod to the acronym that started all of this. It also says what the project actually does that a feed reader doesn't: posts, replies, and whole conversations travel as RSS, so following, threading, and federation work with nothing but open feeds.
New homes:
Every old textcaster.app link still works. The old domains now issue permanent, path-preserving redirects to their counterparts, so existing permalinks, feed URLs, and any conversation already federated out there keep resolving. Posts published before the move keep their original GUIDs on purpose — remote instances and readers won't see a flood of duplicates, and threads stay intact.
If you subscribe to a feed here, you don't need to do anything: the redirects are 301s, so well-behaved readers will quietly update their subscriptions to the new address.
One small thing if you have an account: you'll be signed out once. Session cookies are namespaced to the app name, so the rename invalidated them. Log back in and you're set.
