nostr:npub1mkq63wkt4v94cvq869njlwpszwpmf62c84p3sdvc2ptjy04jnzjs20r4tx just noticed your bio mentioning bridges with RSS. are you building or know of projects working on this?
I am working on this problem now. starting with storing OPML as lists of lists of feeds. the idea being to provide the service of backing up one's rss and podcast feeds, with the ability to browse the feeds of those you follow, and add any of their feeds or lists of feeds. import/export OPML. then eventually to read feeds, and follow nostr longform publishers, and to syndicate RSS content as long form content as well
local first is a generalization of the ethos of node running
they also pioneered and early form of podcast. the radio show Off The Hook was put on by the same group. you had to go manually download the mp3's. and then put the files on my archos jukebox mp3 player.
Icm curious, it seemed like covid drove this group a little crazy. does it seem like they are still able to produce meaningful content since then?
the "Standard Protocol" is something worth thinking about on nostr. while bitcoin is about storing, transmitting, and focusing useful energy, nostr is about storing, transmitting, and focusing attention.

Winamp is going open source.
A little late, isn't it? 😂

can anyone point wme towards a #nix flake for xmms?
I'm experimenting with the GOTH stack: Go, Templ (and Tailwind), and HTMX. very happy so far.
received the "Hypermedia Systems" book in the mail today, by Carson Gross on the principles that #htmx is built on. I am happy to support the effort by buying the book. but the fact that the book is 8 1/2 " x 11" format was surprising, and something I didn't realize before purchasing. so if you care about your eyes side-scrolling when reading, maybe skip the print version.
any other htmx people out there on nostr?
#nostr is designed to break the aggregators and return the network effect dividend to those who provide value to the network, proportionally.
it's a "how long is a piece of string" kind of answer I think. but specifically:
I'm working on an approach (nothing public yet) at managing feeds (rss, podcasts, etc), where lists are composable between users. for instance, I follow you, and suppose you had a collection of startup/finance blogs, I'd be interested in transitively folding those into my list of feeds. then, similar to gpodder, feed it out as an opml to synchronize my various places that I consume content. this takes something an early majoritarian already is familiar with, rss feeds, and extends the utility in a way that, at least to me, is compelling.
nostr still needs to deliver some useful feature to the user better an any other service. and the feature can't be "...but it's decentralized" or "...but it uses nostr". no one who isn't already here cares about that. we're past the early adopters and for that beach-head in the early majority.
IRL networks, like transport, electricity grids, supply chains, etc. are one example
bleep bloop
first, that you are mistaken about not having seen it. perhaps it was just in passing. if that is ruled out, then coincidence. after that, then maybe something strange going on.
Jorge Luis Borges is a master of strange fiction. Urbit has some good thoughts about owning one's personal compute stack all the way to the bottom, but got lost in the shitcoin desert.
owning paper books is like running your own node. kindle is a shitcoin unless you exfiltrate the audio files to a device you own.
is this above and beyond setting CORS permissions correctly?
