people are criticizing the minimal text interface, but i really appreciate it.

it's very nice in w3m, a tui browser. but spacing between each post (none), and among posts and their metadata (one line) needs some tuning, because it clusters each timestamp footer with the user header for the next post. i would suggest avoiding `<li>` for feed items and use more general-purpose elements.

is there a reason you're not simply hosting a mastodon instance?

Mastodon isn’t particularly good for monetization.
