Nostr Web Client

The RSS piece is missing from all the Bitcoin Podcasting 2.0 talk I see.

If it's not on an RSS feed it's not Podcasting 2.0 and the other apps won't see it.

Podcasting 2.0 also isn't about Bitcoin and it's just a part of it.

Fountain has done a great job combining RSS, BTC and Nostr together but it's just them doing it.

I'm a PC 2.0 Maxi and a BTC maxi but the Nostr part doesn't care about RSS so I interest in helping build anything since PC 2.0 is podcasting 1.0 with new features like chapters, transcripts, funding, value, person etc.

Nostr might now get adopted by PC 2.0 but for it to have any chance it needs to be on a RSS feed.

That's the only rule. It needs to follow the podcasting 2.0 spec for RSS and then any additions can be proposed and maybe adopted.

All of these features that got added were just ideas that we added to feeds and apps played around with until it got flushed out.

Sounds like Nostr huh?

I mentioned PodcastGuru b/c it does video the best.

Any of this stuff needs to follow the PC 2.0 spec for any of us to really care about it.

I might sound like a dick but it's just that simple. All of your favorite Bitcoin and Nostr podcasts that are in Fountain all have RSS feeds and that's why you can listen to them in any app.

Podcasting2.org does a nice job explaining this stuff at a high level and what I've been using to add features to my vibecoding apps.

We have people are here that will help with this PC 2.0 stuff but just like my coming to post this on Nostr y'all have to look in PC 2.0 also.

I hear tons of talk about PC 2.0 and Nostr are perfect together but I don't see any Nostr people stepping up.

I'm working with nostr:nprofile1qqswfa547pdmqkerzf2uen3agudc67wxffjmenqpge3dylc006fppyspz3mhxue69uhhyetvv9ujuerpd46hxtnfduq3vamnwvaz7tmjv4kxz7fwwpexjmtpdshxuet5ywlajy to see what his ideas are around using Nostr in podcasting 2.0 but it has to work in all the other apps too.

If Castamatic, Curiocaster, LNBeats, Podverse, PodcastGuru, Truefans, my vibe coded apps and others can't use it then I'm not interested.

Our open protocols allow us to be as interoperable as we want and build whatever we want. It's my hope that we use these assets to build the best experiences as possible for all.

Everyone wants to replace RSS but it's been working for 20 years and a bunch of non-Bitcoiners added Bitcoin to it 4+ years ago because Adam Curry thought it might work as a PayPal alternative and we were already sending him V4V support to No Agenda so this was just a new digital money.

My first use of Bitcoin. Was to send it to PC 2.0 before I even know what the stuff was because it was some next to test out to added to the V4V tool kit.

Sounds a lot like peoples first interactions with zaps on Nostr. 🧐

Who wants to replace RSS?

The talks died down some but I heard it over the years but it was mainly the "we need everything on Nostr" talk so let's replace RSS also.

Maybe it was more we need to put the Podcastindex on Nostr because it's centralized which is true but we have some of the smartest dudes I know working on it and they can barely keep it one the rails while doing it for free and on donations only.

It's just an index that you submit your feeds to that's apps and services pull from. It's to replace the Apple one that all apps were using before and it does that.

It's your job to maintain your feed. You host it somewhere and people can mainly add it to their favorite app.

That's how it worked before apple added podcasts.

Click this orange RSS button on my website and add it to your app of choice.

Funny enough that hasn't changed.

My favorite podcast Bowl After Bowl post the show Wednesday mornings after doing it live Tuesday night and editing it after. It's on the website before the index and apps so I often download the mp3 from their website to listen to on the way to work while they get the RSS stuff done.

Sorry I'm rambling so much but vibes are high for me right now and talking to Oscar last night has the juices flowing and I need to collect my thoughts and typing them out helps.

TLDR RSS is great and always has been so give it a sencond chance if you're reading this. 😁
