This is not completely related, but it reminded me of when I used Sup (a console email client that took a lot of inspiration from Gmail - labels, fast FTS, etc) and the author had an inspiration to create a client/server version, which could handle "Email, RSS feeds, notes, jabber and IRC logs" and more.

Unfortunately, I don't think he even finished splitting Sup into the server+client (called Heliotrope and Turnsole), let alone get them to handle other stuff beyond email. Felt like a lost opportunity.

For your project, seems like the direct competition is IFTTT and similar. What do you think differentiates your project from those? Could be useful to push more in that direction.
- cameronbrown 6y agoI reckon you could pull my project off with IFTTT. The big differentiator would ideally be the fact that this would be a product geared towards content consumption and that lifecycle (ingest, filter, consume), rather than just general purpose stuff that IFTTT does. I have a bunch of ideas in this regard, but it's very exploratory and not a short-term thing.
