Updates to the feedlandSocket demo app. #
A new doc for RSS nerds. WordLand implements a shadow feed, in addition to the feed that WordPress maintains, with a few additions and differences. The two main things we do in a site's shadow feed is support linkblogs and markdown. #
I’ve been writing about the rebirth of WordPress in similar terms, on my blog, in podcasts, hoping people would listen. WordPress is a lot more than people think. We can have all this, a lot sooner than you think. #
My new blog home page?#
  • I have a plan for how to bootstrap WordLand 0.8.#
  • First I will introduce you to a new way to read my blog. #
  • It will be a timeline of items posted to many of my feeds. #
    • daveverse -- lives on WordPress and Mastodon.#
    • Great art on Bluesky -- daily version.#
    • links.daveverse.org -- my linkblog.#
    • Scripting News -- my main blog.#
    • Scripting News podcast -- a new podcast stream. #
    • WordCamp Canada 2025 -- I'm keynoting in October.#
  • What each of these have in common is that each has an RSS feed that supports rssCloud. So updates flow instantaneously.#
  • Anyway... so instead of going to scripting.com, you'll go to this other place, on an experimental basis. It's got color and nice icons, and looks a bit like a timeline in twitter-like systems. #
  • Now here's the fun part. You may read something that you want to comment on. Or quote what I've said. The kinds of things you do on twitter-like systems. #
  • You will be able to do that. The editor is right there. One click away while you're reading. I didn't invent this flow, Twitter did, it's comfortable, we understand it. #
  • The difference is here you edit in your space and pass around links via your feeds. #
  • I will see what you wrote, but it's up to me if it is attached to my posts. I did a podcast about this earlier this month. #
  • This, imho, is the social network the web always wanted. #
  • PS: My timeline as a FeedLand-compatible reading list.#

You know those obnoxious sites that pop up dialogs when they think you're about to leave, asking you to subscribe to their email newsletter? Well that won't do for Scripting News readers who are a discerning lot, very loyal, but that wouldn't last long if I did rude stuff like that. So here I am at the bottom of the page quietly encouraging you to sign up for the nightly email. It's got everything from the previous day on Scripting, plus the contents of the linkblog and who knows what else we'll get in there. People really love it. I wish I had done it sooner. And every email has an unsub link so if you want to get out, you can, easily -- no questions asked, and no follow-ups. Go ahead and do it, you won't be sorry! :-)
