Oddbean new post about login | logout #asknostr Gonna try this again lol. Not sure I'm explaining it well tho, so bear with me. 🥹😚 nostr:nevent1qqsr6yzgul06u74vk50hv088kc5f35vsvag3lpgx8kqghdtzck9xzespzpmhxue69uhkummnw3ezumt0d5hsygyu5z7hg5r5944zqvvupc75ceuunczx48w8p6802hpfqh3yq535pvpsgqqqqqqs4gf9t9
Anyone know who made the @Nostr News account? That is the kind of thing I'm taking about lol. Who do you go about making something like that?
Maybe @Don't ₿elieve the Hype 🦊 you might be able to help me with this question lol. (It's not what you're working on in that amethyst thing you posted, but maybe you you have the knowhow lol)
Basically, if I understand you right, it's a bot that listens to a RSS feed and every time there's something new it posts a note? And you follow these bots on a list and have a nostr RSS reader?
I think so 🤔 The 'Nostr News' account is basically an automated or bot account posting the RSS feeds of infowars, zerohedge and breitbart. Whoever is behind that account can add another source of take away a source. Just wondering how. And if there was a nostr world way of managing a nPub which did this 🤔. Or just generally. Annoying question lol
But yeah I think that is what you said, basically making a nPub that functioned as a personal RSS reader 🤔
Hm I think it's basically pretty easy, use some existing code for RSS feed reading. If something new -> tell the bot to post a note. Win.
I have no idea how to do any of that 😿 lol Doesn't matter lol
If I have time I can maybe set something up 🤙
Cc: @doot 🤔
another interesting approach would be combining RSS feeds to make a timeline. instead of pulling notes from relays, when you open your ‘algo’ feed, your client combines 10 RSS feeds i.e. top notes of the day, mentions popular movies, mentions xyz, which is made up of notes.
Top liked on nostr can be a bit repetitive, as the primal trending tab shows. I wonder if say having a sort of likes as % of follows added as a factor would help. Eg someone has 50k followers, posts something/anything and gets 70 likes. That is just a normal post. Someone with 300 followers makes a post that gets 20 likes, that is more of a post worth considering. I suppose this is the theory behind 'zaps are the signal', but I'm not entirely convinced, I think it is often not that dissimilar to Read Receipt likes for bigger accounts. Just an aside. But I like your idea:)👀 Wonder if these DVM feeds coming to amethyst will have something along these lines
