    Quick tour of the composer 🎉

    Type / for the slash menu, : for emoji autocomplete, and toggle Write / Preview to see the render live. Bare links autolink → https://textcaster.app

    Single newlines are line breaks —
    like a chat,
    not classic Markdown.

    What ships today, and what's someday next:

    • ✅ Live SSE timeline — works with JavaScript off
    • ✅ Markdown composer with live preview
    • ✅ Conversations that federate A→B→A over plain RSS
    • 🚧 IndieAuth + Micropub — coming next

    "Subscribe to feeds, /inReplyTo threads them." — the whole model in one line.

    Built on Textcasting.

    One post, many contracts — the same content reaches every kind of reader:

    Format Endpoint Reader
    RSS 2.0 /users/rmdes/feed.xml any feed reader
    JSON Feed /users/rmdes/feed.json modern apps
    Firehose /users/rss.xml the whole instance

    Threading over plain RSS is just matching a reply's reference to its parent:

    function resolveReply(item: FeedItem, posts: Post[]): Post | null {
  const ref = item.inReplyTo ?? item.thrInReplyTo
  return posts.find(p => p.url === ref || p.guid === ref) ?? null
}

    No cross-server API. No shared database. Just feeds. 🚀

    Textcaster is live 🚀

    This whole timeline is RSS under the hood — local posts and remote feeds are equal citizens, written in Markdown and delivered as open feeds.

    What you preview is exactly what publishes. ✨
