@mozz Improvement idea for Astrobotany: could there be a Gemini feed index page for the Message Board? It could be a separate page from the normal one. That way we could follow the Astrobotany chat via feed subscriptions.
(Also related: I have this vague idea that Bubble itself could subscribe to feeds elsewhere to federate remote content as links into the system.)

I''ll think about that one a bit. My main concern is that astroboany is a semi-private community, in that you need to register in order to be able to see most of it. Making a public feed kinda feels like publishing IRC logs from a private channel. Which I know some people have mixed feelings about, and I don't want to discourage those kind of folks from contributing in astrobotany.
Understandable! The Gemini feed could still require a client certificate to access, making it viewable in clients like Lagrange but not submittable to Antenna, for example.
From a pragmatic point of view, I always seem to forget about the Message Board for long periods of time... Having it viewable in a client would keep it front and center, enhancing the participation, perhaps.
Oh I didn't even consider that a feed could still require a client certificate. I don't see any downsides to supporting that!
