The firehose is now documented, with two working demo apps

rss.chat worknotes ·

Every rss.chat server broadcasts every new post, edit, and like over a websocket the moment it happens -- the same stream the shipped client uses to keep timelines current. As of today there's a doc that tells you how to drink from it -- firehose.md: the address, the wire format, the two verbs, and the three things a well-behaved listener does -- and two demo apps in examples/firehose that prove it: a Node command-line app that logs each post as it arrives, and a browser page that shows the JSON flowing through. Each is about a page of code, adapted from the feedlandSocket demos -- it's the same protocol FeedLand uses, so a listener written for one can listen to the other. No account, no key: connect and the posts come to you.
