I've been pleasantly surprised by the thoughtful human content coming from some tech companies (fly.io is a great example).

That led to the thinking: 1. The internet is better with thoughtful human content 2. Some tech companies encourage their humans to write thoughtful articles 3. Increasing awareness of these articles is good for readers and can incentivize companies to do more of this (since they like awareness)

That combined with the itch to build my first real web app that uses sync to provide a realtime yet local-like user experience led to this frankenstein POC that combines rss feeds, realtime post ranking and the kind of instant interactions not yet typical in web apps.

It's not true "local-first" since it syncs data via a server but there's no user data being collected, except anonymized clicks on posts.

Current functionality:

• Feed of posts from selected tech co blogs • Click-tracking (max of 1 click registered per user) • Ranking in various time periods • Blog filter • Local-only reading list • OS-mode UI (inspired by PostHog) • Keyboard shortcuts for easy navigation

I'd love to hear what anyone thinks!
