Implementation of a markdown proxy for Talk

simplexkiller · May 15, 2019, 4:36pm

So we have found that Spreed doesn’t support markdown. Is this a dev milestone?
If so, I figured I would let everyone know that myself and a couple other people are working on a Markdown proxy for Spreed using the following example.

github.com

passy/rss-markdown-proxy/blob/master/README.markdown

# rss-markdown-proxy
[![Build Status](https://travis-ci.org/passy/rss-markdown-proxy.svg)](https://travis-ci.org/passy/rss-markdown-proxy)

> A reverse proxy rendering Markdown to HTML within RSS feeds for podcast
> shownotes.

## Why?

As my co-host [@monchote](https://github.com/monchote) on
[Strictly Untyped](https://twitter.com/strictlyuntyped) has found out,
SoundCloud does not allow embedding HTML in their RSS feeds because
spammers could take advantage of this. This is, however, pretty crap
if you want to use it for show notes and embed some links.

This is a simple reverse proxy you can pipe any RSS feed through
to render the `<description>` and `<itunes:summary>` fields to HTML, allowing
you to author them in Markdown.

If I am wrong or misinformed, please let me know. Our community uses Spreed to talk to one another all day long so if there is a simpler way to do markdown, lemme know asap.
