I was just thinking the other day: why don’t browsers work this way? The HTTP caching headers kind of provide this ability but pages are encouraged to operate as live, always-fresh applications.
In the context of reading information, news sources have a common issue where they’ll report some facts about a local story and then find out the information is not-factual. They will then rewrite the story. There isn’t an audit trail or a way to compare/contrast against what was previously written. I think humans need this kind of audit-ability as we are naturally bound to observing change which in turn is our only way to discern credibility.
It’s not clear, but does it integrate with self-hosted aggregators? I run Miniflux, & while not perfect, it is lightweight & can sync what I have read between devices.
Looks cool tho & I can only await the kitty graphics protocol integration in the future 😃
There’s no integration with other aggregators: you simply have RSS in a “list” (which is a gemtext file) and that’s it.
The kitty graphic protocol is already integrated but this does not work when displaying image in a webpage because that webpage is a text in the pager less (and less doesn’t have that integration). But if you open the image directly (the yellow link under each image), then you will see the image perfectly.

I agree.
