Yeah, or even Gopher. I would love an app that lets me run custom scrapers to fetch content, or post my comments to threads about that content, on whatever sites that one of my scrapers can read or post to with my account details. For example, a "NYT fetcher" content module would fetch a NYT article, remove the paywall, and then a "reddit fetcher" comment module could find reddit comments about the article, while an "HN fetcher" could find HN comments, and the app could merge it together into a nice unified interface. Then give me tools for posting replies to comments at each site where I have an account.

Let developers create each "source" of content or comments, packaged into a module ("NYT article fetcher," or "Reddit comment fetcher"), and let me choose which modules to install. Then delegate the infrastructure for executing scrapers or curating feeds to a set of federated servers that I can opt into. Or better yet, execute the scrapers in a local sandbox on my own device, so that the NYT can't block me because my requests are my own. You could argue it's just another form of a web browser.
