Just thinking out loud, but... if I subscribe to the "everyone's feed" https://users.rss.network/rss.xml in my RSS reader, I obviously see each entry, but there is no way to know who is the owner of the post.. if we'd push this idea further down the road of a "social network powered by RSS" I would love to be able to see right upfront "who" is the author of the post, a bit like we do in the rss.chat UI, i guess this is why the "client" exist, but I was wondering if we could make ANY rss feed reader able to display "rss.chat" streams with proper user attribution
Ricardo, the information is in the feed in the element.
This is a not-often-used element from core RSS 2.0.
Now most feed readers don't look for it, but it's there.
I will make my microsub indiekit plugin read it/display it properly, so that it can display handles as a source, with avatar if any, it would make the whole thing much more natural from an external reader point of view
It will also benefit my other RSS feeds, because i'll be able to show the name of the source with a favicon or logo/avatar of the source
What does that mean to someone who doesn't know what microsub is?
It means this :
A comprehensive Microsub social reader plugin for Indiekit. Subscribe to feeds (RSS, Atom, JSON Feed, h-feed), organize them into channels, and read posts in a unified timeline interface with a built-in web reader UI.
It's a built-in RSS reader with integrated Micropub actions buttons, so this means that from the backend UI RSS items reader view I can Like, Repost, Bookmark, Reply-to, or simply write a note or an article (a note with a title) but no matter the post type on indiekit, It'll be pre-filled with the source, usually, the RSS item in question, coming from one of my Microsub (think RSS reader) channels (think Category) within the Interface, in my case the microsub reader UI is behind auth, but if I would open it to the public, it would look like your river of news UI, with buttons to interact with RSS items
I went back to the top of the thread, I think the question you asked was answered with the item-level element?
Yes this one is answered, I'll implement usage in my own clients UI
