Reduce the scrolling I do day to day by trying to write a program to do it for me.
Potentially build a community around various topics
Possibly ends up looking like a kind of meta news aggregator?
I'd like to get it to the point where I can force myself to use communal anytime I have an urge to consume news or social media, and shape my consumption through modifying this platform instead of being suject to all the other platforms.
Roadmap
Version 1:
communal discover "$LINK" will crawl news aggregators and various sources and accumulate interesting details about the link, its contents, commentary, and tangentially-related links.
Someday:
communal serve will serve a community web app for submitting interesting links and crawling tangential details about them, surfacing into a daily/weekly static newsletter.
