Updated my install of rss.chat (rsschat.andysylvester.com) to the latest server code to pick up a security patch, everything seems to be running smoothly. It is open to all!

I created a local viewer for my OPML Zettlekasten file that I created in 2022 and updated posts. The code uses a combination of the outlineBrowser2 and opmlPackage repos from Dave Winer. I will add a repo in my account soon with the setup that I used.

Tried out another NYT Cooking recipe: Orzo with Summer Squash and Pesto. Result: another hit – 4 for 4!

…chatting about rss.chat at rsschat.andysylvester.com….

I have a personal working rss.chat server now (independent from the developer) – come check it out! All are welcome, will post install details soon.

I am having problems installing rss.chat – discovered that AWS SES config is needed to send email to new users – why is this not in the docs?

Reviewed the install and config pages in the rss.chat repo, saw that an AWS S3 bucket is needed. Hmph! I will go and set up one up, but this needs to change…

My News Archive app is available here – check it out!

Dave Winer posted on Sunday: “Right now we could put a twitter-like product there that you can set up in a few minutes, run it yourself, and or join one that’s run by a friend.” Is this what he is talking about?

The new Blurt theme on WordPress.com does not “use RSS to glue” any systems together – it is a WordPress theme, and supports RSS because RSS is built into WordPress. It “looks like Twitter”, but each post is a standard WordPress post. Any other questions?
