It lets you assign priority to accounts or websites you follow, allowing a personalized tracking experience. Moreover, it offers tag features, import/export options, sync capability, dark mode, and much more, making your online tracking much more manageable and efficient.

Amazing idea and implementation. This is a concrete positive contribution to the world. I hope a developer community gets cultivated around it, and it never gets abandoned or monetized.
