I was expecting that they would support podcasts almost immediately and couldn’t believe that they never did. It was so easy, nothing to it.

This is great. RSS is springing back to life. All it need was for people to reject the hype that came largely from big companies that wanted to and did takeover,

It was designed that way, patterned after social media, where you share all that info. I wanted to see if it would work in RSS, and it came out pretty good. We're going to have a new version pretty soon, hooking it up with RSS.chat.

Thanks for the blogroll love! You can also see one in action on my blog's home page. http://scripting.com/ And on a special site.. https://blogroll.social/ A blogroll is a kind of feed reader.

If it’s JSON you want, here’s my blog’s RSS feed in JSON. http://scripting.com/rss.json I started generating the JSON version in 2011. http://scripting.com/stories/2011/03/17/jsonifiedRss

i'm not going to re-do all the sites i did in the 90s, 00s, 10s. never going to happen.

did you read the part about how https doesn't protect us from the browser vendor, ie google? They tell us to worry about man-in-the-middle attacks that might modify content, but fail to mention that they can do it in the browser, even

You should try Caddy -- it's even easier.

Haha perfect demo! ;-)

They're breaking the web. That's the point. All other arguments you're presenting about HTTPS being easy (it is, have you tried Caddy) are moot. It's the sites that were made before Google took over control that aren&#x2

i doubt if it will come to a DMCA takedown but that is a creative an interesting idea! maybe someone else could post an issue to their repo. but as the author of the spec i really shouldn't have to do anything to get an esteemed organi

my perspective is that my name and copyright were removed from a document i wrote and re-published on the W3C site and that should be fixed. please don't speak for me. thanks.

of course any document can go missing, but the RSS 2.0 spec has been at that location for 20+ years and was put there specifically to preserve it over time. and of course it's no excuse for ignoring a copyright notice and removing auth

I wrote a post about this thread. I am the author of the XML-RPC spec and co-designer of the format. http://scripting.com/2022/07/16.html#a172934

I like the first document, circa 2009. We were doing the same thing in Frontier at the time, because as the author says, it all was a bit of a mess. I use the feedparser package in my JS work written by my friend Dan MacTough, that hides th

hmm. RSS worked pretty well for something that needed salvaging, as you say. the mess was created by vendors who wouldn't work with each other. i stepped back after 2.0, people could've done anything they wanted.

Maybe there's still hope for some stewardship of feeds. I have some ideas I'm playing with. I think the key is not leaving the past behind, but also not being limited by it.

I actually know what this is like, somewhat -- I had a startup that IPO'd a long time ago, and my life had been defined by my struggle to be successful, which could no longer define my life. Now you're going to have to get systema

I've been writing about this for a while, I don't repeat everything in every post, which is probably why it was confusing. Anyway, what Twitter did is repeat the body of the tweet in the title and description sub-elements of item.

I just unblocked and followed you. Thanks for the respect, much appreciated. ;-)

Please don't feel bad. I was never trying to make a lot of money from the web. I had lots of opportunities to sell out. I did that once, in the 80s, and that has funded my creative work ever since. Money isn't that useful, I learn

Thank you for the kind words. RSS is still a robust format with lots of news flowing through it, so we did accomplish something. And the pendulum is always swinging, so I think we may find the open web useful still, esp when the big tech co

I stopped coming here a long time ago because trolls dominate. These days we understand why and how that happens, and HN is wide open to that kind of abuse, with no moderation tools. So what changed, if it's true that now it's a p

What's your Twitter handle so I can unblock. And thanks for being so reasonable about it.

Thanks. Imho if they had one it would create a more civil environment here.

I think this is the problem with letting the tech industry take ownership of open formats and protocols.

Do they have a block command on Hacker News??

Here's how this works. Imagine you don't recall this event. And then he says about you what he said about me (I don't remember the words, and I don't want to, but sounded like I blew my top). Now further imagine that hav
