I appreciate you pointing this out. It does seem to solve the polling problem.

But it seems to me that NOSTR also solves this problem, but does so in a much more elegant way, with a turnaround time of updates to distribution potentially being measured in milliseconds. Not only that, but the content IS the message.

Plus, I like the idea that the NOSTR protocol carries all the things that I want timely updates on. I would like to have a feed that can handle articles, podcast episodes, comments on all of the above, and all the menagerie of note kinds that I have yet to explore, using a single protocol, so I don't need to mix and match betweeen them. Obviously, if there is a superior protocol for a particular kind of content, I wouldn't hobble utility to have uniformity, but it would be nice to minimize the number of integrations, accounts, and book keeping required to both publish and consume such content.

Have you personally used the Podping stack to publish stuff? I'm curious to hear your experience with it.
