What is RSS.com?

RSS.com opened a public API, then its changelog went quiet

RSS.com is a podcast hosting platform that spent late 2025 shipping ecosystem features — a public API, Podcasting 2.0 Location Tags, and a year of analytics lookback. Its changelog has not updated since December 2025, so more recent direction is unclear.

What is Subsplash?

Subsplash's Workflows feature goes GA with email automation on every step, unifying church operations in one platform.

Subsplash is systematically converting its Workflows feature from beta to a full operational backbone for church teams: email automations trigger on card movement, a 'My Cards' view surfaces all assigned work across every workflow, completion notifications go to team leaders automatically, and the rebuilt Transfers & Reconciliation page handles bank deposit matching with audit trails. The AI People Assistant (natural language filtering) and Trends AI (media + campaign data) are building toward a data-informed operations layer.

RSS.com opened a public API, then its changelog went quiet

◆ Current state

RSS.com is a podcast hosting platform that spent late 2025 shipping ecosystem features — a public API, Podcasting 2.0 Location Tags, and a year of analytics lookback. Its changelog has not updated since December 2025, so more recent direction is unclear.

◆ Where it's heading

The late-2025 arc pointed toward opening the platform up: an API for third-party automation and standards-based metadata. Whether that momentum continued isn't visible, as the feed has been silent for months.

◆ Prediction

Insufficient recent data to predict confidently; the last visible direction was building API-driven integrations, but the months-long changelog gap makes any near-term call speculative.

S2.5

Subsplash's Workflows feature goes GA with email automation on every step, unifying church operations in one platform.

◆ Current state

Subsplash is systematically converting its Workflows feature from beta to a full operational backbone for church teams: email automations trigger on card movement, a 'My Cards' view surfaces all assigned work across every workflow, completion notifications go to team leaders automatically, and the rebuilt Transfers & Reconciliation page handles bank deposit matching with audit trails. The AI People Assistant (natural language filtering) and Trends AI (media + campaign data) are building toward a data-informed operations layer.

◆ Where it's heading

Subsplash is moving toward unifying giving, event management, people management, and operational workflows into a single platform for churches — reducing dependence on external tools like SurveyMonkey for surveys or separate streaming platforms. The 'My Cards' view and email automation completion notifications are the kinds of features that shift Workflow from a nice-to-have into a primary daily interface for church staff.

◆ Prediction

Automations will gain conditional branching and third-party integrations (email providers, SMS), and Trends AI will expand to include workflow completion and giving pattern correlations — moving toward a full church operations intelligence layer.
