This makes me think of NetVibes and other "start page" with built in RSS feeds that existed a decade+ ago !
I guess this https://git.cloudron.io/cloudron/tutorial-nodejs-app could be the base to package this app quite easy !

Ah netvibes. A blast from the past. Something I still miss.
-
@ei8fdb Netvibes still exists. Actually, it is still my home page ^^

This looks easy to package.. @girish will like it..

It takes a lot of managing. I recently installed it via Yunohost on a VPS with 6GB RAM, 100GB SSD, and every 15 minutes it would crash. This is because the default setup includes what looks like 100s of feeds, and you gotta then try to delete the ones you don't want... but there's soo many, and most I had never heard of! I realized I could just delete them column by column. Still took awhile. Once it was all gone (because I wasn't going to just let all these random feeds load), I decided I really didn't want to wade through the setup again! I could just read the websites I'd want "in-person".
Anyway, it looks handy, and if the initial install could have just a few samples, it would have left a better impression on me.

@scooke I'm going to have a try on it, seems at my level of know-how and also going to investigate how to start from fresh without the imposed feeds, that would fix the onboarding
-
@rmdes Oh, is it your creation? It is pretty cool, just was too resource-intensive on my machine. Congrats.

@scooke No no it's my creation, haha I wish I was at this level, no, I'm just going to get my hands dirty on making a cloudron package out of it and I'm in contact with the dev on mastodon
-
@rmdes good luck, looking forward to seeing if you decide to share
-
@mehdi wot? Oh I must go look. I had heard it went the way of the Dodo. I wonder if I can remember my login!
I've tried to recreate it many times over the years. Now I use Nextcloud bookmarks to synch my sites cross browsers.
