Agreed. I assume this will open up Bluesky to a lot of potential legal problems. But will it be any different from accesing the content using the app as the content is anyway hosted.

That said, just the other day I was thinking, is the reverse possible. I have a web site/blog. Use RSS and then the RSS updates are posted to a handle on Bluesky. I would assume that's a lot more useful?

This is trivial, I'm currently doing this for https://bsky.app/profile/aemet-bot.bsky.social which reads a bunch of RSS feeds from AEMET (Spain's national weather service basically) and posts warnings to the feed if there is any warning above Yellow.

The code for managing this is about ~200 lines of Rust code.

		Do you have that code posted somewhere by chance? I would be interested in browsing through it!

		This is cool. Actually if bluesky can do this automatically where it can fetch RSS and show as handle updates it will be really useful. Will help a bunch of people who wouldn't need to maintain the services. Or maybe there is a potential for a SaaS service?
