Is there a way to actually add account login data so you can grab feeds from users who are not visible if not logged in? I see that happening on Instagram for example.
Just wanted to ensure the concept was solid before venturing into it. Also concerned about storage of credentials.
So I built this - and its initial purpose was just to help me keep up on public TiddlyWikis (like philosopher.life) that I had discovered. But I couldn't get myself to rip off other news readers - I've not been satisfied with RSS and I disliked Google Reader.

Very interesting! And I'm fascinated by doing it as a browser plugin. Could you say more about why you chose this route?

Not that I would have ever executed, but I ditched the idea after looking through facebook's graph API and seeing that it wasn't feasible.
I never thought of making it a browser extension though! Good job, this is awesome!
