Any RSS/Atom fans still around? I've been playing with an idea...

Hi folks
Even though it has suffered a serious decline, there are still a few of us who believe in the potential and benefits of a syndicated web.

I've been for a long time pondering on how to build a more open web based on RSS, and came up with an idea for a different kind of social network that is based on syndication (basically, adding social features on top of feeds).

So you can both import content to your "timeline" via feeds, and all your timelines are a feed that can be read elsewhere outside the network.

In case any RSS-adopters are around here, I'd love to get some more eyeballs, opinions and constructive feedback on it.
I have a demo up, which has been working for the past week: https://www.kalaksi.com

My major feature to implement now is to integrate it with RSS-bridge which will allow to import content from other sources that dont provide RSS (think your twitter/IG timeline, youtube channels, etc)

Thanks for reading :)
