description: I appreciate that X gave me back access to my account that I was locked out of, but they were apparently charging me for premium when i couldn't use the account, and had no way to turn it off. Okay they can keep the money. But now I want to turn off premium for the account I was using when I didn't have access to my real account, and can't find the commands to do that. Asked ChatGPT and it either hallucinated or X removed the command. Feels a bit like the Soup Nazi on Seinfeld, one of the funniest bits they did.

feedTitle: Scripting News

feedDescription: Dave Winer, OG blogger, podcaster, developed first apps in many categories. Old enough to know better. It's even worse than it appears.


description: Every social web apps need avatars. If you're looking for them from an RSS 2.0 feed, I suggest looking at the channel-level image element. For good prior art that's how they do it in WordPress.


description: This is the first day since the NBA playoffs started that there is no scheduled game. I think that's why today feels so weird.


description: For some reason every day feels like Saturday. I don't know why.


description: I have Claude Code hooked up to Chrome, it's crawling around inside the DOM of the running system. It's a bit like Fantastic Voyage if you've ever seen it. I've been waiting for this moment. Now we can do some really nice UI work.


title: Dave's vibe coding amusement park

description:
I reached a point in my Claude work where now I can do vibe coding, in a world that I used to just be a programmer in. This means if I want to do a heavy lift, I can tell Claude what I want and it can do really big corner turns, which is something I am (as a human) terrible at, and thus resist. Today I redesigned the basic user interface of the app, and didn't read any code, I was just giving orders, and it was doing what I asked, even if every little thing it did would have been a full day's work. It's remarkable how it can do very complex things in a few seconds.

And the web framework i'm working on can do almost all the things I want to do for now, but I want to suck everything into it, and turn the whole thing into a vibe coding amusement park. So many projects I want to do, and so many I want to do with you.


description: Thinking about adding an element to source namespace, <source:inReplyTo>. Its value is a URL, by default, and has an optional isPermaLink attribute, a boolean, to indicate if it's not a permalink. I will also add support for that in the FeedLand database, and flowing out through the sockets interface. Actually that's pretty close to a full spec, at least in rss.land where we take simplicity seriously. ;-)


description: I wish they had an outliner in Claude. I would use it. ;-)


description: BTW, here's the JSONL version of Scripting News. It has the same data as the RSS file, but in the format that AI apps are looking for, so I am told. I thought I'd try to kick this off by pushing an RSS flow through the pipe. It's like using the Grateful Dead to boot up podcasting. I needed something to put out on the wire and I had this feed handy.
