iiinova — where your digital self keeps evolving

Over the last few months, I've rebuilt my RSS / content reader project call Feedster. It's unique in that it gives users a front page view of their feed content, organizes feeds into channels, allows users to share these channels, and supports MCP for AI agents to access feeds.

One thing that I've grown quite fond of is the public channels feature. This allows me to share channels of feeds with other users on the app, or just post links for public consumption. Here's a public channel of people who design and build software: feedster.co/c/8981501b

Introducing Feedster — This Modern Web

Let me know what you think, I wrote a bit more about it on my website: p.atrick.org/2026/03/05/i...

Will the sessions solution break how seasons are currently implemented?

I like this idea. Manually refreshing sessions is a small pain to think about and abstracting it away is nice. I might also suggest having lower level primitives that don’t do any automatic behavior, as an escape hatch if people want to build something completely custom.

Haha. I would totally do commissions but a 300 lbs table would be a bitch to transport. When AI takes my job maybe this will be the next thing 🤔

Thank you. Yes, it feels really good to make something like this that I know will out live me.

Moved the table inside for final finishing. The top alone weighed almost 250 lbs! Set up the top on saw horses to paint the legs and base and finished the top with a natural stain and briwax.

Yes. I’m in the Hudson Valley in upstate NY. Luckily it doesn’t usually get too humid here in the summer and the table will be inside an air conditioned house. Thanks for sharing your expertise. I just did a deep dive on how to use cleats instead of bolting the top to the base. Really good info.

Ah thanks. I didn’t know this! Unfortunately, I already bolted and glued the frame down 😬 Hopefully I don’t get too much expansion. Anything else I can do here besides hope for the best?

The legs and frame will be painted black. The top will remain natural-ish with a very light stain and wax finish.

Frame is now attached to the table top. Caulked up the joints and filled in any screw holes and large gashes on the legs. Gave it a nice initial sanding. We’re ready for paint and stain now.

More table updates: Got the legs sanded and bolted to the frame. I also dry fit the legs and frame to make sure things were feeling stable and the height felt good with a chair.

Table updates: The frame is now glued and screwed together. Next step is to drill holes through the angled corner joints and install the leg bolts.

Here’s where I’m at right now. I’ll post more as I make more progress. Designing with wood is really fun!

I copied the framing idea from our existing dining table and just sort of scaled it up. I hope it works!

I got a local lumber mill to mill a slab of maple for the top, the legs are salvaged from an old busted table we bought last year.

I’ve been working on building a new 8ft x 4ft dining room table that can seat up to 10 people. This is my first large-ish scale wood working project. 🧵 #woodworking

I hate that you moved to Philly like 3 months after I moved away.

Patrick Marsceill @p.atrick.org · 20/11/2024

Building it with Swift/Swift UI, so it should work? I'm pretty new to macOS development, so I'm not sure if there are gotchas there.

Patrick Marsceill @p.atrick.org · 20/11/2024

Did a bunch of hacking last night and now have embeds on the timeline view working. Progress 💪

Now that my shell prompt is *perfectly* customized, I can finally get some work done around here. _cracks knuckles_

Definitely! I just need to get basic functionality finished 💪

I took it offline as it became costly to run. Currently working on refining a bunch of stuff. And making discovery a core feature.

Thanks! Here’s a thread with the initial build/prototype. TLDR; rss feeds that can be organized into channels. Channels can be publicly shared or private (invite/only). x.com/pmarsceill/s...
