Tried it, was fun.

How about automated updates every minute or so?

Usually I keep these windows open in the background and look at what pops up.

Or code it..

I'm coding something similar for nostr events. Might add HN too keep different feeds on the same TUI location. Text is less distractive than these modern crafts of devil called CSS and god-forbid: images.

Always nice to see text consoles coming back.

Actually one of the reasons for writing the app was to reduce my compulsive browsing of social media. A feature like this would go in the opposite direction :) But if you really want it, feel free to tinker with the code, it should be pretty straightforward.
