100% private and on-device Lemmy "For You" feed - Quiblr (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!

If you haven't already, I would consider cross-posting to the privacy community. I imagine you might get some useful critique from them. I'll definitely try it just for fun. I'm pretty sure I wouldn't replace my connect app, but I'd love to at least try it

Great idea! I'll cross-post over on Privacy.

And yes, let me know if you have any feedback!

The interface looks good. It looks like standard Material Device but put together beautifuly. Btw, is it open source?

[–] Aurelius 11 points 5 months ago (2 children)

Thanks! I took inspiration from a few different design styles to make something a bit more fun and novel. And It is closed right now. I work on Quiblr in as a side project and I've never managed an open source project lol but I'm talking with a friend who does have experience managing open source projects to see if they can assist

[–] Xeroxchasechase 12 points 5 months ago (1 children)

I hope you'll get to open it. Maybe you'll be surprised from the community you can form around it.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 5 months ago

Agreed. Closed source and Lemmy users don't mix much. I'll be passing for now.

Just upload the source code to github, it's not difficult to make things open source, just often people don't want to.

[–] [email protected] 22 points 5 months ago

I don’t think this is totally accurate. Open source management is very thank-less. If you just upload code, people expect to submit PRs, get updates, version control, etc. also you often need to do your diligence to ensure there aren’t any additional security considerations

You can definitely just upload the code (with some revision for security) but truly managing an open source project (which I’m guessing OP is referring to) is another beast all together

[–] [email protected] 10 points 5 months ago (1 children)

Wow, this seems like a cool project.

How do I... use it? Is Quiblr a separate instance? An app? A front end?

[–] Aurelius 13 points 5 months ago

Quiblr is a frontend. You can choose any instance that you want to browse. Right now, it is just a web app. IOS and Android apps are in the works

[–] gedaliyah 6 points 5 months ago

This is a great idea! It feels very snappy and looks great, too!

[–] [email protected] 4 points 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months ago) (1 children)

This feature seems really cool!

Any reason to have a button for "show me more" when there's also an upvote button? But good idea to separate "show me less" vs downvote

I guess another thing you could do is sort a list of communities by how many upvotes you've given to them, then you can easily subscribe to communities you didn't know you liked

[–] Aurelius 6 points 5 months ago

I added a "show me more" button so that it can be an additional signal to differentiate content. Like I can upvote a post but ALSO I want to see more of this type of content.

Plus users don't have to log in to use the "show me more" button

[–] [email protected] 3 points 5 months ago (1 children)

The design looks quite Duolingo-y.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 5 months ago (1 children)

I see that. I like the Duolingo feel. It is a fresh take. I appreciate it. Props to OP

[–] [email protected] 3 points 5 months ago

i mean yeah button design looks exactly the same, it's pretty iconic

[–] gedaliyah 3 points 5 months ago

I didn't see any links for version tracking, but if you have/make one, I'll be happy to add this to our megathread of Lemmy apps, you may also want to check the sidebar for other projects that help people explore the app options out there.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 5 months ago (1 children)

Always love seeing your updates to this.

[–] Aurelius 2 points 5 months ago

I appreciate it! I try to update regularly when I’ve got time

[–] [email protected] 1 points 5 months ago

This looks great. Can you add options to show community instance and user instance?
