In rss.chat land we're in the business of connecting big things with each other using the web. Yesterday we came out with an example app that connects a writer with a WordPress blog. WordPress has all the hooks to be the place where text and publishing meet on the web. https://rss.chat

Honestly, we’re still shocked the FBI won’t even be pretending to investigate ICE agents.

Ben Thompson, on the hype regarding Kimi K3, at Stratechery: This is a point that bears repeating: because U.S. open weight model makers must follow the frontier labs’ terms of service, they (1) are worse than Chinese alternatives and (2) end up distilling the distillati...

John Johnston got inboundRss working, so now he can automatically post to his blog from demo.rss.chat. These are the kinds of things that “just work” when standards are used to connect to the outside world. WordPress, as I’ve been saying so long, has all the right hooks to be the place where text and publishing […]

Yesterday was a wonderful first day for RSS.chat. It’s now out there, but we haven’t talked about or demo’d many of the things that it does. I wanted to get the feeds out there first, because now we get to think together about how they fit together to give us a social network experience. It’s […]

Claude codes. It may seem as if developers have taken over this blog, because we have real business to do. So much new stuff to show. Today’s RSS.chat goodie is an example app called ThreadWalker that crawls the network of replies under a single post, to all levels, printing them on screen in neat hierarchic […]

I wrote a pretty good set of paragraphs on Twitter/X this morning. Yesterday I announced RSS.chat. Some people spell it RSS.chat. I haven’t decided which way is right yet. The announcement covers a slice of the project, but it fans out to be the beginning of a bootstrap. I want to entice other projects to […]

Someone on Masto who I blocked used a nasty word to descript RSS.chat. Let me be really clear here, this is an act of authorship by me. Claude is helping, a lot — I doubt if I could have done this without its help, certainly not in the amount of time it has taken so […]

A karass is “a group of people linked in a cosmically significant manner, even when superficial linkages are not evident.” I think of RSS.chat as a social network for my karass. A small group of people, not trying to get famous or rich from using a social network, rather wanted to work with or stay […]

RSS.chat is meant to be like MacWrite was on early Macs, give developers something to think about and lots of prior art for them to steal. All we want in return is interop. 😉

There’s a new Docs menu in RSS.chat. Right now it has pointers to the home page of our GitHub repo, and to the worknotes pages for the client and server. There will be lots more stuff in this menu as the project progresses.

Howard Rheingold is just the kind of person rss.chat was designed it for. And here he is asking what it is. Very fortuitous. And if you’re wondering how a person should think of it in July 2026, it’s for you too. 😉

Thousands of New York families might be leaving millions of dollars on the table when it comes to summer food benefits. To combat hunger while schools are closed, the state’s Summer EBT program sends eligible families $120 per child in food benefits. Last year, […]

John Johnston got inboundRss working, so now he can automatically post to his blog from demo.rss.chat. These are the kinds of things that "just work" when standards are used to connect to the outside world. WordPress, as I've been saying so long, has all the right hooks to be the place where text and publishing meet on the web. They've been reluctant to step into that role, but I think it'll be realllly good for Matt's company and the community. A lot of developers can come in via the web. That's how I personally approach WordPress. A place to send text so it can be widely read. A growing foundation for a community to build on, and would imho help the web enormously.

I am longtime friends and an admirer of Howard Rheingold, who expressed an interest in RSS.chat. I asked Claude to read my blog posts and summarize, in the third person. RSS.chat is a small social network built from the web's own parts. It looks like a chat room or Twitter ...
