I'm using the existing one #[2] built that's running here: https://rsslay.nostr.net/
The source code is here: https://github.com/fiatjaf/relayer/tree/master/rss-bridge
Also I made a browser bookmarklet that automatically generates a bridged nostr profile of the twitter account you have open in your browser. Create a bookmark and insert this as the url:
javascript:window.location.href="https://rsslay.nostr.net/create?url=https://nitter.moomoo.me/"+location.href.split('twitter.com/').pop() + "/rss"
I love hacks like this, again, thank you. I'm working on another RSS bridge, bidirectional. if you have any thoughts about how they work generally, rsslay in particular, or anything that seems relevant, please share
Sounds awesome! Is there a repo for bidirectional that i can take a look at? happy to help with the project!
I haven't made it public yet, will do so soon. I'll happily tag you when I do
Sweet!
nostr.io already has nostr -> rss on the profile pages. so if you go to https://nostr.io/p/[your pubkey hex] you'll see the link on the left
What’s the thinking on RSS? How do you see it being used in conjunction with nostr?
there's a lot of reasons. for one, I like the idea of nostr as a distribution/notification channel, and rss has a ready supply of content. there's also the chance to disaggregate / aggregate feeds. I think value for value applies here. eventually nostr can supplant rss, by publishing notifications directly. podcasts belong here natively too. I love leaning into the decentralized nature of the platform.
imagine a podcast app that publishes an event for each episode you listen to, across feeds. if I like your taste in podcasts, I'd like to follow a feed of your listens (and stream you and the content creators some sats)

Interesting. You should be able to subscribe to my pod feed, it’s lit!
Yesterday I had the idea that Wordpress posts could effectively be replaced with nostr underneath so instead of publishing a blog and then duplicating to substack’s walled garden and tweeting with Elon’s new 4000 character limit in his walled garden, you’d post once and that same content could be consumed in various clients and with Lightning baked in the content is monetisable cross-platform. Could eliminate a lot of friction in audience-building which is what these centralised platforms require and even then everything accrues to the top 1% of creators with a massive tail that goes unrewarded.
all of it, yes! though I worry about events getting too large. perhaps another kind, that relays could charge more for storing.
