I guess Claude is not hooked up. Actually, I'd be alarmed if it was. 👍

verison number

yes.

@Claude display version number in a tooltip over app name "RSS.chat" in the header for manual triage.

Even replies require title now?

Good. #2 is the behavior I'm seeing now and I can't seem to reproduce hoisting.

Replies in the timeline

@dave, is there a description of the heuristics rss.chat uses to display Replies?

AFAICT it's:

initially a flat list of messages sorted by timestamp.
first click on the right arrow next to the Reply icon, morphs the list to show conversation thread under the item, moving items to avoid duplicates.
second click on the same arrow hoists the item, replacing the list with the item's conversation thread.

Is above accurate?

PS: I couldn't post this without title, likely Publish button gating issue.

btw, I'm warming up to rss.chat UX vibe. Revolving rounds of small chats on or off topic with people I know or know of. Nostalgic whiff of enjoyable moments at the office.

I think rss.chat-like webapp could be implemented cheaply and autonomously using Cloudflare Durable Object and their new agent signup feature.

There is also nothing preventing mobile apps from implementing rss.chat features within the app, all but OPML and RSS hosting which can be hosted on any CDN.

Yes, text, media, links, and agents. It's not a news reader but a news 'linker'. User reads news articles at their website using the browser with links on bside sidebar. Not just news articles obviously. With link support, RSS chats can be attached like a sticker or poster to any web page on the web.

bside uses Chrome built-in AI to summarize as part of client-side workflow. frontend does most of the heavy lifting. backend is lean and cheap enough to scale massively.

@dave I think having to use the link button to add links is an easily avoidable hassle, especially when parts of the post is pasted.

latest on bside (still cooking, not in the new cooking sense):

@dave Help text for account name say "Name must be 4 chars." which is clearly false.
