I vibe-coded castr.me to turn every npub into an RSS feed. I didn't even look at the code so it's probably bad and half-finished but it works and it's already useful to me.
Discussion
Tried to put some meaningful things in a README, but to understand how it works it's probably best to look and click around. https://github.com/dergigi/pubcaster

Wow, clever. Well played
Oh fuck thatโs amazingโฆ
Can I also turn my RSS feed into an npub?
No.
I was saying "No" in regards to the tool mentioned, not in general.
I often wondered why RSS isn't leveraged more on nostr, like a better optimized rss reader client? I should take a page out of your book and try to vibe code something.
There's a bunch of stuff. narr by nostr:nprofile1qqsrhuxx8l9ex335q7he0f09aej04zpazpl0ne2cgukyawd24mayt8gprfmhxue69uhkcmmrdd3x77pwve5kzar2v9nzucm0d5hszxnhwden5te0wpuhyctdd9jzuenfv96x5ctx9e3k7mf0qydhwumn8ghj7un9d3shjtnhv4ehgetjde38gcewvdhk6tc4rdlnm for example https://github.com/fiatjaf/narr
Feeder supports Nostr articles too: https://github.com/spacecowboy/Feeder
And https://noflux.nostr.technology/
Also both https://github.com/msasikanth/twine and https://github.com/Ashinch/ReadYou have merged PRs that add Nostr articles support, but for some reason they haven't released those yet.
What exactly is it for? What is the utility? Sorry for the ignorance in the computer field ๐
Let's say there's an account that posts audio or video clips on the regular, and you want to download everything automatically so you can watch it later offline. Having an RSS feed for that npub will allow you to use any podcast player to do just that.
Let's use nostr:nprofile1qqsvf646uxlreajhhsv9tms9u6w7nuzeedaqty38z69cpwyhv89ufcqpzamhxue69uhhyetvv9ujucm4wfex2mn59en8j6gpzemhxue69uhhyetvv9ujuurjd9kkzmpwdejhgqg5waehxw309aex2mrp0yhxgctdw4eju6t0t25cfd as a concrete example. If you punch his npub into castr dot me and add the RSS feed to your podcast app, you'll see something like this: 
It's all very simple, and as a content consumer it's very convenient.
As a content creator you can in theory create a Podcasting 2.0 podcast with show notes and value splits and everything, without having to deal with the feed creation yourself. You just post to nostr, and that's it. That's what I tried with nostr:nprofile1qqsfhhjzzjgl86k34ssm68gpvea2h9rlfswy4mv8vfx0yfemqm9q22cpramhxue69uhkummnw3ezuetfde6kuer6wasku7nfvuh8xurpvdjszrthwden5te0dehhxtnvdakqzrmhwden5te0dehhxarj9ekk7mgmkwtv0 & while imperfect, it's already working.

Very clear! Now I understand.
How cool ๐
Ok thank you ๐ค
Rss is BACK! Maybe
Everyone is vibe coding Nostr apps now ๐

For those without dev brains:
castr.me lets you follow any Nostr user like a blog. Just paste their npub and boom, RSS feed. Read Nostr posts in your email or favorite reader. No client needed. Built on pure vibes, and it works.
Is ded?
It only looks at kind 1s or what are you doing?
For now it looks at audio and video content in kind1 (and it tries to find long-form show notes). It's a proof of concept, if enough people find it useful I hope that someone takes the idea and runs with it. nostr:nevent1qqsznudclrthfpr3kud07ul9dfwfcr2swepzrdlh5xcj8csvzv897yqpz3mhxw309ucnydewxqhrqt338g6rsd3e9upzqmjxss3dld622uu8q25gywum9qtg4w4cv4064jmg20xsac2aam5nqvzqqqqqqyh7tmll
Making everything work with someones general kind1 feed, creates so much mess to filter through
So apps like this destroy the signal they need to even be useful.
I prefer making publishing podcast audio ON NOSTR uber-easy and rewarding :rocketship:
add imeta tags to mp3 urls to your posts, and the rss bridge can turn them into audio/mpeg enclosure, and you've got a podcast
I made a thing to demonstrate this:
https://npub.blog/npub16gwqt4qw6stjd2g9kg2pfl76jpxj4ethgqr05tgwwp064n2aw20s9quukf
https://npub.blog/npub16gwqt4qw6stjd2g9kg2pfl76jpxj4ethgqr05tgwwp064n2aw20s9quukf/rss
the urls are ugly, sorry
Cool, so we pretty much made the same thing.
the idea's time is now.
Just add .rss into a njump.me/npub url, like this: https://njump.me/npub1vt803quxxq32fuwkp42g2lyaw2t9qupvnl3z0vyc3s9kudkyhn8qt28cxv.rss
Man, do you just hang out at some coast side and chill? ๐
I also contemplate things and do some clicks and double-clicks, but yes.
Did you see the one alby also vibe coded recently?
Nice!
The HTML is currently missing link rel elements for feed discovery. Something like this:
``
Incidentally, I also just proposed adding alternate Nostr links to Web content with Nostr representations, as well as to feeds, and some people seem to like it, so you could also add those:
(For RSS, the elements need to be namespaced, for example `
Good night ๐
Love it Gigi Iโve always thought this is what nostr should go towards
Good night ๐
I super love this... Basically it's just video! Thank you, nostr:nprofile1qqsxu35yyt0mwjjh8pcz4zprhxegz69t4wr9t74vk6zne58wzh0waycpz3mhxw309ucnydewxqhrqt338g6rsd3e9uq5gamn8ghj77tvwpc8g6fhv3uxkcm3w4nx2drtxfmngurrxfmrxdmhwe3hsumkv5mk5mmv0fhxjut3vdj8j6tkw9c8zmr9xdkxjepwdahxjmmw9uhazftv ๐๐ป๐ซ You rock!

Make it pull the lud from kind 0 in the episode description. That way it is (for any npub really) zappable from any rss reader that is not too retarded to open the link as an email or at all ๐. Example podcastguru:
https://cdn.satellite.earth/d3be4ba2ccb8eecc7b987e3c90f8ff97e8ba824dae1f4b3e6c5adfb0f8378af3.mp4
Yes, I'll do that once I get back to it. Have to get the zap splits into the RSS feed too.
