This feels like the big one. If every RSS feed on earth was aggregated into a space that's easily searchable, what would you build?

Love this, I think figuring out a real differentiator with RSS is an important part to communicate. Not just two way, but also discoverable and searchable.

The firehose is an optimization. It’s powered by software called a relay. It costs about $20/month to run a relay which can run the entire firehose of 40M accounts and cache 2-4 days of data. Here’s a list of open to the public relays https://compare.hose.cam/ — lots of apps run them on their own internally.

Yup, Boris has it (as usual) exactly right — the firehose is an optimization that anyone could replicate. The relays themselves are another optimization, not strictly necessary as the data is stored at the PDS level and still available for anything to consume directly.

But the firehose is what allows something like Tap to easily backfill the network.
