It compiles RSS feeds and YouTube, Twitter, etc into a dashboard-like view rather than a crowded timeline. No notifications, no algorithm. Just a tool for a human. Easy to “move into the periphery”. Very calm, even when I’m following 100s of people.
The explanatory video alone is a gem, the fact that this extension is open source is a juicy bonus, the coziness factor is sky-high.
From a person that doesn't install any extension ever: great concept, amazing execution, installed right meow.
PS: How much money would you need to program a CLI version of this that I could host, and run forever and ever, on a tiny VPS?
Will follow up if I figure it out!
Just trying to sort out how to make it work, make it look.
This is great! I'd definitely subscribe to a Patreon or something to support this project.

Love the vibe of that intro video.
Tangential question about the video: what's the name of thar movie with Nicolas Cage at 4:17?
Thanks!
> The unusual name of the wine region dates back to a 12th-century tale of a German bishop traveling to the Vatican for a meeting with the pope. The bishop sent a prelate ahead of him to survey the villages along the route for the best wines. The 'wine scout' had instructions to write 'Est' (Latin for 'There is') on the door or on the wall of the inns he visited when he was particularly impressed with the quality of the wine they served so the bishop following on his trail would have known in advance where to make a stop. At a Montefiascone inn, the prelate was reportedly so overwhelmed with the local wine that he wrote Est! Est!! Est!!! on the door.
Damn that was amazing though, definitely will try out.
Outstanding execution there.
I feel the same about the UI. It’s cozy. I will be installing this next time I’m at a computer. I agree with others that I would gladly pay for this, support it on patreon, etc, especially to help pay for the web hosting to make this into e.g. a website I could use on my phone.
Thanks for making this!
To complete the digression (from the same Wiki):
... the wine often receives mixed opinions with wine experts ... describing in The World Atlas of Wine 'Est! Est!! Est!!!' ... as "usually the dullest white wine with the strangest name in the world."
Pretty much what Telegram does. Yet people are finding their ways to abuse this approach and "noisily take over" your attention.
The internet's content should be controlled by the individual, not the feeds a big reddit,hn or facebook gives you. Simple good tools like what you provided should be a good step in cultivating an internet garden that can integrate into people's lives in a more orderly fashion.
However, I do see a place for search. I would love to add search terms like 'Nicholas Cage' and any time his name comes up (or perhaps even a related topic) I can track that.
