Kudos - this looks like a great project and is fully usable now.

I have a similar project, DL, that's unfinished. Mine revolves around using a custom API in both Rust and REST to aggregate all my digital life events using ActivityStreams 2.0 and extensions to that, in a manner that is decentralized and ranked/categorized through machine learning. I am still working on it and releasing it Open Source is one of this year's goals.

My motivation is that the amount of information I receive from Twitter,Mastodon,Facebook,Reddit,HN,various Stack exchanges,blog postings,etc. has gotten to the point where it's too easy to miss things.

Jeremie Miller, one of the creators of XMPP, had something similar revolving around the Telehash protocol. As far as I can tell, that effort is discontinued, or at least no longer Open Source.




Hey, we are building something similar. Please checkout https://metamate.io/blog/most_advanced_hackernews_api. For now, we concentrate on reading public data from various social sources. We just released a HackerNews service and going to add more over the next couple of weeks. Here's a little application build on top of a MetaMate http://showcase.metamate.io/hackernews-activity. Please let me know what you think :)
