MyxFeed

The idea behind MyxFeed is a personal indexer of all your content (the 'grams, if you will). It's kind of like general reader app but also like an rss feed reader. The unique part is transforming the passive feed consumption into a practice of accumulating a library of resources, notes, and deliberate coverage of the domains you're interesting in.

This is a very busy space, and I'm having a hard time keeping the scope of the project restricted to some viable initial kernel.

Pitch 1: Reader app with customizable algorithms meets SRS/Incremental Reading.

Injest sites or ebooks, "index" them, and output scrollable excerpts with connection to other resources.

First, I'll dogfood by exporting my firefox bookmarks, scraping them, and using readability to get pretty content. Then I'll process the subsequent markdown into attension grabbing hooks, and then I'll have to play around with generating an engaging feed. The feed has to really grab my attension as well as the other platforms.

This is a great example of a product that would benefit from open protocols, specifically for sourcing the content, integrating heterogenous meta content (comments, categorizations, playlists, etc), and possibly even for the generation of the hooks. Even if this means that MyxFeed would be a commodity front end for a scrolling app, that sounds like a massive improvement over the current hellscape of walled opium dens (garden is far too pleasant a word for the likes of Instagram).
