I'm experimenting today with WordLand running with SQLite instead of MySQL. Nothing to show yet, but it works for me locally with a small patch to the wordland repo.

Andrew thanks for the reminder, I sent an email to you and Jon Desrosiers introducing you guys. I met Jon at WC Canada last year, he's one of the people who manage the final release of each version of WordPress. And unfortunately (for him) he is a Celtics fan. :-)

Is anyone else going to WordCamp this week?
I’ll be flying in Monday morning. Highs of 113°F in Phoenix! Uff da!
I'll have "I ♥ RSS" stickers to hand out.

I used to use Bluesky to write my early morning posts when I'm using an iPad or a computer that can't access my editor for my main blog.

Before that I used Twitter.

But I should be using RSS.chat.

Esp when I hit the character limit on Bluesky, which happens every time. It's not very likely I'll write something that can be expressed fully in 300 chars.

This morning I reminded myself that my new casual writing platform is right here.

This, btw, is 459 chars.

The press is freaking out about Democratic Socialist candidates winning elections all over the country.

They can relax, because the government of the United States thrives on different points of view, and thus -- compromise.

The Democrats can have any combination of points of view, as long as they play by the rules of democracy.

In fact nothing could be more reaffirming of democracy than having a wide range of new reps in Congress from different political viewpoints.

They can all work together and in doing so, give us another shot at the form of government we all believe in.

John -- it's not a matter of time, it's how many items there are. Each feed can have a maximum of 100 items. That's a config setting on the server, config.rssMaxFeedItems.

Wondering how long items in your feed persists here?

I have spent a few days scattered over three weeks supervising a new version of frontier which took almost a decade to develop originally for Mac in 80s and 90s for node.js and electron. Without Claude I’m pretty sure that was never going to happen. I’m paying $100 a month for that.

I did a full rewrite from scratch Sunday to run on Cloudflare or standalone using celld.

The rewrite branch and screenshot of the its current state at:

Aside from fullter testing and pen-testing on Cloudflare and celld, a key feature I'm planning to add next weekend is ability to spawn new instances using Cloudflare's temporary account creation support.

The Agency was quite good.

I meant blogging via AppleScript was niche.

What is nice about the rss.chat set up is if I post a link from one tab rss.chat updates the page in another tab without refresh.

It's linkblogging. Not niche, imho.

I’ve managed to make a small AppleScript that gets the selection from Safari & a link and posts it to RSS.chat. Post Link & Quote to RSS.chat Fairly niche.

Cool! I need to update the UI so that it properly shows your server name instead of just "RSS.chat" everywhere.

Success. I cross-posted to my RSS.storian.org. Thanks @manton and @dave.

and, nevermind. I went ahead and clicked it and I see I get to determine the server. Awesome.

I see the cross-post button in Micro.blog. It says RSS.chat. Does that mean it will cross-post here, or can I tell it to cross-post to my RSS.storian.org?

I have this feed.

https://demo.rss.chat/users/dave/rss.xml

Hooked up to micro.blog which in turn hooks it up to Bluesky.

If I write a post there that has a title or is longer than 300 chars, it will use standard.site.

Which I think means it will show up in my timeline as a card, and clicking on a link will take me to the full post inside the "atmosphere" -- they come up with great names in that world! :-)

I think there's a feed reader over there, we will find out.

Once again Manton kicks ass. This is a big door to open.

I used the demo.rss.chat so other people could contribute without being part of my circle of friends. ;-)

i think breaking the wall betw at proto and the world outside is good for everyone. there is significant work being done there, and people who think like we do, so connecting the two worlds will make a lot more of a difference than say connectiong with threads or even mastodon. they just aren't listening and don't care at the companies, but us individual developers have lots of reasons to work with each other, we just tend not to do it. breaking through here will be huge. ​

note: this was going to be part of a comment on micro.blog but there's a character limit...

We're going to make this happen. I think it's really important for us to connect with developers who make writing tools for AT Proto. We should be part of the same community, I feel that very strongly, so I am seeking new ways to make that happen via RSS. I noticed they had ...

It’s starting to work, we have a table editor odb browser, and can edit, update and run scripts. The runtime lives in the cloud, the client is an electron app. I had to call it a day early because my poor human mind is having trouble keeping up with the new reality. Do you know how long I’ve wanted this? Btw the builtin webserver works. I’ve mastered Node, but frontier has so more factored, the model is much simpler iirc.

I love it. Thank you for being part of this project. ❤️

I rolled out basic cross-posting from Micro.blog to RSS.chat this week. Here's a screenshot of what the menu looks like. Still have some improvements I can make later.

The credit really goes to Andrew Shell who made it really easy for us to hook in, then we figured out the rest of it. We're using the header, not adding anything to our feeds.

Update -- I didn't like the idea of turning Drummer into a programming environment so instead I asked Claude to give its version of Frontier a user interface. Parts of it are starting to work one hour later. Using Electron, Concord (the outliner I keep reusing) and all the other stuff. If it all works I will be able to run Frontier on my desktop. Also the ODB is a SQL database.

I'm working on posting from Micro.blog to RSS.chat today, using the API. For completeness, I think support for the Micropub posting API or even MetaWeblog would be good. Then some existing clients could post to RSS.chat with minimal or no changes.

Great to see WebSub support too. 👍

My initial tests show it works as expected!

Previously we were only able to notify via rssCloud.

Now we also support WebSub because there are also a fair number of feed readers that only use WebSub.

We're using Andrew Shell's rsscloud.io as our WebSub hub, as we have for a long time with rssCloud.

Andrew please help us figure out if this is working correctly.

The source is in the repo, along with a worknote.
