Nostr Web Client

is anyone working on nostr native podcasts? I imagine an NPUB being the root of of a feed. with articles/nip-23 notes being the equivalent of "items" in a standard RSS feed.

the "eclosure" part of the feed, which contains the mimetype and URL of the audio file. I can see this being a reference to a file metadata note, kind 1063, with a URL and mimetype encoded in tags there. but I can also imagine a specific mp3 url tag, `mp3`, or something like that. the idea for not just including the link in the body of the article is so that a nostr-only podcast app could parse the audio file link out of the note without having to grok the body of the article.

any thoughts out there?

Hi there! I'm also looking for information on this and I'm really interested in the RSS to Nostr podcast idea :)

Have you found a standard way of defining podcasts on Nostr?

Thanks! Following! :)

it's not standardized, but I'm still testing and monkeying around with it, trying to see if it makes sense. and to me, it does.

the RSS => nostr part is handled at https://drss.io

the nostr => RSS part is handled at https://npub.blog

an RSS feed maps to an npub. each "item" from the feed is turned into a kind `30023` note. the content is converted from html to markdown.

since I posted the above, I've made a change for podcasts, that being I no longer use the `mp3` tag mentioned above, which is not a standard, I found the nip-92 `imeta` tag. I add one of those with mime-type `audio/mpeg` and the url to the mp3.

one could publish a podcast by uploading an mp3 somewhere and then publishing an article that serves as the description for that episode, title, published on, etc, and include that mp3 link in the imeta tag, and if you directed someone to the npub.blog//rss they can subscribe to that podcast.
