I built the first 100% private, on-device "For You" feed on the fediverse (lemmy.world)

Hi all,

Quiblr now has personalized post feeds for Lemmy!

I haven't seen a "recommended feed" feature anywhere else in the fediverse but I thought I would take a crack at building it!

My goal was to make a privacy-focused recommendation engine that tailors your experience based on the content you interact with. None of the data leaves your device. You don't even need to log in for it to work

You can turn it off or tune your feed in the settings

Each post now also includes a show me more/less button

I would LOVE feedback from folks if you get a chance to try it out!

This was really fun to build so let me know if there are any questions!

PS: Let me know if someone else has built this feature for the fediverse - then I will change the title to not claim "the first" lol

My list of places where I allow cookies

Yes, I know. That's the problem. Instead of asking for and installing an app, maybe just enable cookies for that site? That's far less intrusive.

The app shouldn't be intrusive, if its a good app

The point is, you're asking the dev to take the time to create and maintain an app, when you could just tick a box to enable cookies and use the PWA instead...
