Introducing Rss.chat

3 hours ago

RSS.chat is presented as a social network built on RSS, envisioned as a network of small communities running on small servers.
The project uses established technologies like RSS 2.0, OPML, Markdown, SQL, and WebSocket, supporting features like textcasting and rssCloud for instant updates.
Developed in collaboration with Claude AI, the platform emphasizes interoperability and user choice, with plans to release under an MIT license and provide extensive API documentation.
The author advocates for a decentralized web approach, where all components are replaceable, and criticizes forced standards like WebSub/Atom for being anti-interop.
A nightly email newsletter is offered as a non-intrusive alternative for updates, highlighting loyalty and ease of unsubscription.
