Fantasic idea and implementation. My timeline on here compared to twitter.com looks more sane and inteligent without those recommendations of 'X liked this tweet', and all the news topics. I assume that's because it's getting the raw feed.

I also love low-fi websites like this. I think websites shouldn't be a large drain on resources, and should embrace standard HTML as much as possible.

This has the opportunity to curve timewasting scrolling by making it more a periodical read. As such, I'd like the return of the timestamps and to implement hourly pagination, so that there's an 'end' point and a easy bookmark to start where you left off.

Thank you for the feedback. Glad you like this. Yes, I was spending way too much time because of the endless feed and scroll. I was seeing more things I didn't subscribe to (follow) than what I subscribed to. So I created this app.

The timestamp idea is great. I will look into implementing it next. It's always nice to have a start and an end. Maybe I will add a setting where the user can specify how frequently they want to fetch new items.
