Posted a relevant thought last month. I'd like to see nostr as a repo source and user hub for discovering, adding, syncing/managing RSS feeds, but the app would display RSS feeds directly rather than make use profiles to echo them. The profiles seem like needless over engineering to an already decentralized protocol when RSS and nostr feeds could live side by side. I think it might be easier to get a nostr app to add RSS reading and managing as a feature than getting a popular app to add nostr, but i'd love to be wrong. Yet another area where making nostr synonymous with Bitcoin community first makes it difficult building bridges with the wider general community.

Random thing I'd like: Would be cool is a RSS client that uses NOSTR or a DVM as the decentralized RSS search source, but the reader itself showed RSS feed directly vs creating Nostr profiles. I just feel RSS is decentralized in concept enough not to need that extra middle man over-engineering, but what it lacks is a decentralized source for ease of use in setting up feeds and discovery for users. Nostr as a whole would be the decentralized repository to search for and add RSS feeds to this app. You wouldn't need people making specific RSS lists on listr either, just people using some extension like RSSHub to extract RSS urls and send out that as a note of a certain kind or hashtag or something. Not sure if people would appreciate a whole kind being dedicated to an RSS feed url, but certainly would make creating a client easier.
