Thanks for making Fraidycat and helping take the web back to the good old RSS days! I especially like the Dire Straits Money for Nothing video-like logo. I have a question: Is it possible to make the Fraidycat endpoint on your own server instead of having the browser extension take you to https://fraidyc.at/s/ https://fraidyc.at/s/? Or am I totally confused?

It's not possible at the moment. I used to serve the pages directly from the extension - however, this causes the feed fetcher and the web page to run in the same thread - so the UI gets sluggish. I moved the web page into a 'content script' - meaning injecting it into a normal web page - and that solved the problem. Fraidycat 2 will allow 'localhost' access. (Later this year.)
