as with Zeus-sprung Athena

From a standpoint of sheer intelligence, it emerges — from the eastern horizon, from behind a cloudbank, from the rim of a distant mountain — dazzling, indeed like the sun itself. Aptly named, yes. But let one be wary of hubris, of course; one wonders if the Architects had t...

The RSS.chat repo on GitHub

The all--new RSS.chat repo.

https://github.com/scripting/rss.chat

Two parts, client and server.

Full source in both.

The client is the software that runs in the browser in JavaScript. 

It calls the server via api.js -- which is glue we recommend using if you're coming in via JS.

All code open source via MIT license.

Docs right now are minimal, but that will change. That will be Claude's responsibility. 

I'm going to write the main readme files.
