I'm getting a lot of web design and SEO spam at the moment. Even if they were all from genuine companies they're barking up the wrong tree.

The base PHP-MST is now fully standalone and seems to work without any problems. I installed a fresh instance on the other domain to test.

I don't have any of the rssCloud subscription & notification code in yet but I've had a thought about how to use it. I don't want to trigger page refreshes but am thinking about using HTMX to update a portion of the page to indicate when new items have been published to subscribed sites.

The theory is that the notification endpoint will increment a counter and the HTMX bit will periodically refresh to show the count of new items. When the timeline reloads it will then clear the counter.

Shouldn't take too long to build. I can repurpose the rssCloud code from /reader and create a new element that polls the "new" count every specified interval.

Sounds like a nice little project for tomorrow. 🤔
