POAP2RSS

Here I document building and refining POAP2RSS, a service that turns POAP claims into RSS feeds. Posts range from praising updown.io’s monitoring to a deep dive on “vibe coding” where AI assisted me in writing the service’s AWS Lambda functions.

I decided to declare POAP2RSS officially launched. It seemed fitting for Independence Day!

How do you celebrate creating a service to make POAP activity available in RSS? You make a POAP of course! Now drop — POAP2RSS Created! 💥

Circular badge for POAP2RSS dated July 4 2025, featuring an RSS icon, a POAP award ribbon, and colorful fireworks on a dark navy background.

I cleaned up the RSS items that POAP2RSS outputs this morning. I decided to remove the titles on the items and add the POAP images which makes it great for adding to a micro.blog timeline. Now I can share my POAP claims automatically!

I’ve created my first project using AI to write nearly all of the code with me!

Introducing POAP2RSS!

For years I’ve wanted to get updates for POAP events and users in RSS. Now with the help of AI I’ve created it!

Still cleaning to do. Check out the code on Github.
