RE: Hive needs better feeds! Let’s build a custom Curation tool! (fundraiser)
I really like this idea. For a long time, people (myself included) have been wondering how to make different and more useful feeds that can help discover new interesting authors, as well as help connect people. This could very well be one such tool.
As others have commented, I also think it has to be done independently of any frontend and in a way that frontends can plug into. Your idea of saving your sets of preferences and sharing them with others can also be accomplished via custom_json, again in a way that works across frontends.
I would be keen to volunteer some time to help build this and I think it makes sense to do it as a HAF app. Also I could help with hosting it. Is there any place where the team that will be building it is hanging out at?
Edit: Actually, potentially these feeds could be additions to Hivemind which provides the current feeds.
Thank you for commenting!
I'm not involved in the building nor hosting of the tool. I'm 'just' the one that tries to get this idea into a working tool by gathering funds 😊
But I'll tag @ecoinstant
Love the idea, and yes HAF is perfect for it!
Depending on the order of things, including your work and help, we might get a quick "mvp" out just to get the community talking.
If these alternative feeds (based on seven or more levers that the curator can select) gain traction - we really should build a HAF app. Altho, thats not exactly a hundred dollar job.
Looking at Hivemind, I guess that seems the most proper place for something like this. Since it already has the existing feeds and new ones could be added. I'll ping you on Mattermost to discuss more.
