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! ;-)

welcome ben. ;-)

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.

Just setting up my rss.chat

I love seeing posts like this.

If you want to create another account so you can test, email me the address you want to use.

Well that worked, posted to WordPress RSS Chat in WordPress and it flowed through to my rss.chat set up.

Can't test here 'cause I use a different email address here from my WordPress site Admin.

I was hoping for something like this!

Don’t miss this.

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 T...

New docs for the API that connects RSS.chat to the server.

https://github.com/scripting/rss.chat/blob/main/client/docs/apijs.md

what a nice surprise! ;-)

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.

I've been running a server that mirrors posts from my rss.chat feed to my WordPress site 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.

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.

i'm really happy you're setting up a rss.chat server.
