Exactly!

There are plenty of different kinds of RSS feed out there (news, podcast, jobs, product reviews, events, ...). Given the right tools, Nostr creators (that is everyone) could assemble RSS items into completely new "products".

E.g.: a Nostr-powered website that combines self-authored long form articles about a certain industry with news, events, and jobs from that same industry with a high degree of automation in the workflow.

Thanks everyone for the amazing support both here and on Geyser! ❤️

I'm not a developer myself, so my next step is to set up a Github repository and invite developers in my network to contribute. I'd love to use this initiative to attract young developers (think high school students), make them aware of RSS, and inspire them with Aaron Swartz's contribution to its development.

I'll post updates both here (follow me) and on the project page on Geyser.

(By the way, I'll move the zaps sent to this post to the Geyser project.)

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.

This is the most interesting Nostr-based project I've seen lately.

Still not properly working, and lacking a ton of features, but badly needed! Support it on nostr:nprofile1qqstdhxam7rxw5586xjwscsdj24fqhp93kzsh7xvjg7nnhc7mlh9aeczqf2t4 !

Yes.

For both services the end goal is using your crypto assets as collateral for a loan.

However, Firefish is BTC-only, and you get EUR on your bank account. Unlike Hodl Hodl, that is cypto-to-crypto only, with Firefish there is no need to deal with wrapped BTC, other blockchains or stablecoins.

And each Firefish loan comes with thorough contractual documentation that will make your accountant extremely happy.

Cool!

I would definitely use it if a browser extension were available and if it could support multiple Nostr profiles to publish to.

Good points! Clients could hide the zapped amount and just show the profile pics of the top zappers to that note.

Thanks, but I'd like to create the notes for a profile I fully control.

#asknostr

I use a bookmark service that generates an RSS feed of the bookmarked items.

The RSS feed is fairly rich (title, link, description, categories, image).

I would like to convert each item in the RSS feed into a Nostr note and publish it to a specific Nostr profile. The description element should become the text of the note, images should be included in the note, categories should become hashtags, and the link should be added at the bottom of the post.

Is there any service (paid options are fine) capable of polling the RSS feed and producing new notes when new items are detected in the feed?

I can't! Conflict of interests! 😄

As a competitor of my company, Firefish.io, I want to give credit where credit is due.

(they also picked the right Nostr logo 😛)
