Been trying this out secretly for the past few weeks — a "catch-up" timeline page. Did whole bunch of iterations, where I myself is the guinea pig, but this time reaching a point where I just got to share it out in the public.
- NOT final design, still very experimental, only on my local machine
- Instead of algo timeline, this is focused on data-grid-like UI for configuring exactly what I want to see.
- This honestly could be another full-fledged app/client by itself 🫠
After a while, my usage slowly leaning towards this: grouping by authors. Feels refreshing browsing it this way. Faster to scan too.
Oh yeah, this is how it looks like on wider viewport. Kinda email-like.

Not sure where to put these, so experimentally placing them at the top for now, reusing the styles from trending news in Trending page. It's based on the post's `card` so some links are actually "quote posts" 😬

@paulcox re: resource usage, you mean the API calls and the rate limit?
As for 'popularity' metrics, I didn't really play around with them. I don't think anything is really skewed here as you have complete control on how to filter or sort the timeline. Though the idea of sorting posts by follower count seems interesting 🤔
