This was solved 20 years ago with RSS, I guess it's about time for someone to rediscover the idea and reimplement something like it, push it like a great new invention, and make a couple of billions in the process.
- johnnyanmac 2y agoIt was solved 20 years ago. But companies unsolved it by deciding to de-prioritize or even remove such RSS API's. Getting around that requires some heavy and expensive scraping (compared to a lightweight API to hook into), and as we're seeing right now companies are at each other's necks in real time over scraping.
- PhasmaFelis 2y agoGood point. If Discord can make billions by essentially reinventing IRC...
- hiatus 2y agoIf setting it up was as easy as posting a tweet, sure. My parents don't even know what RSS is but they have heard of Twitter.
