Just because there is a pause doesn’t mean there should be a comma.

RSS is one of those humble protocols that glues the web. It was born out of the same values (openness, data portability, ...) that are the foundation of Nostr.

You may not be aware, but you can already export most of the content you create and publish today into an RSS feed.

- Most blog platforms allow users to make their content available as an RSS feed.

- Most bookmark services allow users to create an RSS feed from their bookmarks.

- Plenty of third-party services enable the creation of RSS feeds for your Twitter, Instagram, Facebook accounts (think RSS.app, IFTTT, ...).

- Most podcast platforms generate an RSS feed for your show.

- ...

On the other hand, Nostr is poised to become the new web infrastructure. It will dismantle the walled gardens we've been living in for too long and is already shaping an ecosystem of decentralized apps that will gradually replace centralized ones, one by one.

Connecting RSS and Nostr is obviously a necessary step to accelerate the transition toward this new web powered by Nostr. This Geyser Project (link below) aims to build the necessary momentum to create a tool that enables everyone to make the most of RSS in a Nostr world.

Applications are countless: just imagine turning the RSS feed of bookmarks about a specific topic into a nice stream of Nostr notes pushed to a specific npub profile, and then transformin those Nostr notes into a beautiful website built with nostr:nprofile1qy88wumn8ghj7mn0wvhxcmmv9uq3qamnwvaz7tmwdaehgu3wd4hk6tcqyqyw4hjsmaga5jjz7hwqgh34kdceqtsx665q2g2mas7h9hrg0n9sgfvzdyk .

I'm fully aware there are already a few tools out there attempting this, but all of them are quite limited in features or designed to only serve tech users.

What we need is a web app that allows users to:

- Submit the RSS feed they want to connect with Nostr

- Define rules and parameters for converting RSS items into Nostr events

- Specify the Nostr profile they would like to publish the events to

Furthermore, using a liberal open-source license, we may enable the development of competing/specialized web apps.

All writings will be posted to Nostr whether authors want or not. Authors should preventively get an npub or someone else may earn their sats.

While waiting for a quote from a development company, I’ve actually managed to basically finish the MVP myself!

Also, testing v2 of Replit’s AI agent.

I don’t do professional sports, but I’m pretty good at jumping to conclusions.

Every business in Dubai: “We have the best service in the world at the lowest price in the universe.”

Scammers will tell you that you have to judges ideas and not the person. As if ideas just grow on trees instead of coming out of the mind of a specific person and reflect his whole being.

The “ad hominem” logical fallacy is just a psyop that restrains you from calling a fat fitness trainer fat.

I have no book, course, service or good to sell to you. So you just have to see my random brain excretion for the sake of it. Even when I launch my project, there’s nobody to sell it to on Nostr.

How many rebels would have miserable lives if there were no evil in the world and nothing to fight for?

Someone mentioned he liked an article I had written a while back. I didn’t remember writing that article.

Another person said they liked my podcast appearance. I had no clue what it was about.

The past and the future don’t exist, they said! Live in the moment, they said!

Replit has version control and git. I’m not a software engineer but it saved me a couple of times. Some other times, even rollbacks didn’t help which forced me to learn a bit about databases…
