I think it's really important for us to connect with developers who make writing tools for AT Proto. We should be part of the same community, I feel that very strongly, so I am seeking new ways to make that happen via RSS.
I noticed they had a feed in Leaflet, one of the editors, so I created an account entered a few posts, and then looked to see what was there. I then wrote the developer privately, to ask if he would welcome a review, and he did. I made the time this morning to put together the review.
https://github.com/scripting/Scripting-News/issues/359
In the other direction, I've been asking everyone I know who could possibly help, how to go in the other direction, have my RSS feed show up in AT Proto as whatever it is that makes new posts from people in that world.
People keep telling me it's not like RSS, and I can't imagine how it could be anything other than RSS. So the answer was, until yesterday -- no -- you can't do it or we don't know how to do it. Except I asked the question again, on micro.blog and Manton says they have the feature. Of course he does. Manton covers every freaking protocol ever invented.

I don't blame them. I put out there a partially implemented vision.
But the vision isn't really new -- it's a turnback to 2002, and what UserLand would have done if we had continued pushing, which we did not.
At the time we had a product named Radio UserLand that was an integrated writing and reading platform, very user friendly, and it worked, all done with RSS. It also did podcasting if you can believe that.
So here we are 24 years later. RSS is still RSS. And we still have feed readers and blogging tools, so how does this become a social network?
Another test post.
This one has things that look like URLs to autolinker, but shouldn't be hotted up because they aren't full web addresses.

Don, I made the change described in the previous post.
\n\nremoved the version number of the theme from the menubar.
changed the name of the first command in the system menu (the one with your name in its title) to \"Software versions\" which is what it's really about.
in that dialog you will get all the versions of all the software running in rss.chat.
