I built the first 100% private, on-device "For You" feed on the fediverse - eviltoast

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

    Agree, but anyone competent could just sniff the traffic. (Or hopefully, lack thereof)

      For sure. What the aforementioned bits of information provide is the ability to be confident in the privacy of software if one were to treat it as a black box, ie an average consumer.
