I write articles and interview people about the Fediverse and decentralized technologies. In my spare time, I play lots of video games. I also like to make pixel art, music, and games.
Good to know. I have an inkling that this probably slipped under the radar when the SurfApp team were looking at branding and trademarks. Despite the fact that Suckless projects tend to have a somewhat popular following in the *nix community, it’s probably pretty obscure anywhere else.
That’s not what this is. It’s more of a feed aggregator / reader with social features, framed as a browser of sorts.
The main thing it’s used for is feed curation and content discovery. You can basically use anything with a feed as a source, then aggregate and filter things.
It’s kind of like a news reader version of Yahoo Pipes almost.
Kind of. It doesn’t do everything, but it could be a killer app for custom feeds and discovery in the Fediverse. It’s still in Beta, and feels a little underdeveloped, but it’s a promising proof-of-concept.

I can confirm that the email is only for sending out an invite, for downloading the beta version. You just use your existing MastoAPI-enabled Fediverse account.
