@ricmac The Vivaldi browser integrates an RSS reader, a mail client, and a Mastodon instance.
@RandomCanuck @ricmac there's an instance in the browser? I couldn't find anything about that on the website. Do you have a link?
I'm looking for something with an instance and ideally a solid pod. That could make a rather interesting user agent.
@vrandecic @ricmac Vivaldi runs their own instance. You have to set up a Vivaldi account, which then creates an account on the instance social.vivaldi.net. The feed is accessible from the Vivaldi sidebar menu.
@RandomCanuck @ricmac ah, gotcha! I thought a Vivaldi browser is a (single user) instance, which is what I'm looking for. Not merely an instance run by Vivaldi.
Still interesting, thanks!
@vrandecic that’s what I thought too. I’m seeking a range of interesting examples before I start tinkering on new projects next year. Looking for anything ActivityPub.
@RandomCanuck wasn’t there a browser that once tried to be a browser, RSS reader, and a mail client?
I vaguely recall using something like that… or maybe my memory sucks and it was just because you got spammed with full Web pages in your email before things got more locked down. 😂
