I'm about done for the day, so I'll hopefully start testing it with readers tomorrow. :-)

Andrew -- the blogroll is up and running, built from your OPML file: https://news.rss.chat/blogroll/ How to put it on your site: The page is three files -- index.html, code.js and styles.css -- published next to the page so you can crib them, with a readme that explains e...

You read my mind :-)

It sounds like a perfect job to set up for your Claude. ;-)

Just added rssCloud support to https://iheartrss.com/subscriptions.opml

It uses source:cloud (which FeedLand supports) so we can see if it works.

Sounds good. I'll get a feed published to handle this. Maybe one that still uses atom:link and one with websub:link so we can track that difference as well.

Andrew this gave me an idea. Let’s put together a test feed subscribe in every feed reader we can find. After a while post something and see who gets it right away.

If anyone here maintains a feed reader that supports WebSub can you please weigh in on the following thread?

Claude -- I want to try an experiment here.

The experiment

My friend Andrew Shell has put up a site that has a FeedLand-displayed blogroll on it.

We work together with Andrew to get his blogroll page up and running and looking good.

Andrew's site

Andrew's blogroll is hooked up to this OPML file.

https://iheartrss.com/subscriptions.opml

Your job is to read up on blogrolls, and set up a page on your site with a blogroll with the content from the feeds in his list. When you click a wedge it should expand to reveal the five most recent items in the feed. Use your feedland to host the list.

Once you get it working, let's get it moved to Andrew's site, and then touch up the CSS so it looks like he wants.

The source for the blogroll software is at feedland/blogroll.

A validator and a way to add menus to the RSS.chat menubar, if you're running your own instance.

Dave, I've tested a wee bit here, demo.rss.chat and the one I've running on my pi along side WordPress. Going to concentrate on the pi one for a bit so as not to clog up this space. I've two accounts on my test rss.chat. It is probably fragile;-)

Hi Andy,
I'll pop over to github and add in my 2 pence worth. I've found the same thing as you, replies to myself did not show up. I followed the same path on my own test site, and made a second account. This worked in the same way as yours.

Nice !

Great idea and a good time for it.

I was inspired by Dave's "I Love RSS" post Tuesday and built a directory for people that love RSS. It's called https://iheartrss.com/ and leverages many of the goodies we're promoting like an OPML subscription list and a blogroll powered by feedland. :-)

Let me know if you have any questions or issues with the site. I'll try to keep on eye on the thread.

At some point Claude and I will have to try implementing the other side of the protocol to be sure we’re not doing anything wrong. I wonder how Matthias tested his app? Did he set up a separate instance of rss.chat? Early days. 😀

A new section of the setup process, explains how you can get in before setting up email.

There's a new commandline way to set up an account. Explained here.

In fact if it's just for you, you don't even need to set up the email.

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

@johnjohnston Here’s what I got:

Not really sure how this happened.

If I replied to Jake it was by mistake?

@thebigbabooski Thanks, I think there is some untangling to do between, my WordPress - micro.blog & rss.chat I think @rss.chat on micro.blog might be a fire hose from the rss.chat feed? I am posting this in micro.blog web, wondering where it will turn up!

@johnjohnston I did reply through MB. Here is what I got back from your reply:

A new way to say you mean so much to me...

I wrote a piece summarizing where we are and how we got here.

All of you have been essential to this process.

Thanks!

Dave, I do see it. I a replying in the WordPress comments to see if that comes back to rss.chat.

@thebigbabooski yes. But it also ended up on rss.chat this is a bit confusing to me. I presumed you replied in micro.blog?

I had the pleasure of meeting @NateBJones this evening at an event here in Seattle. If you're following people in the AI strategy space, he's a good one: YouTube, Substack. He's been an important influence on how I use agent harnesses like Claude Code and Codex, and is well worth a follow.

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.

@johnjohnston my comments to the right place?

If you see this on your wordpress site then it's working! ;-)
