I really like the concept of the now page as a succinct quarterly update.  I want it to only change once per quarter.&lt;p&gt;I also really like consolidated news feeds of one persons activity across all platforms (which seems more like what these &amp;quot;auto now&amp;quot; page attempts are going for).&lt;p&gt;I think we need a new term.  I would like to call it &amp;#x2F;feed.  It could even be implemented as an rss&amp;#x2F;atom&amp;#x2F;activitypub aggregate feed of all a user&amp;#x27;s activity across publishing platforms.&lt;p&gt;&amp;#x2F;feed&lt;p&gt;Let&amp;#x27;s make it a thing.
And let&amp;#x27;s keep &amp;#x2F;now as the quarterly update.&lt;p&gt;(also, your now page link is not resolving)</text><parent_chain><item><author>pflenker</author><text>I think it&amp;#x27;s a bit sad that &amp;#x2F;now pages are going into a direction of listicles&amp;#x2F;media people consume and so on.

It only takes a few minutes per week to do this.&lt;p&gt;Point is: please don&amp;#x27;t worry about enshittification of &amp;#x2F;now pages.  What Akash is doing here is a fun project, and &amp;#x2F;now pages in general are not going the listicle direction.</text><parent_chain><item><author>pflenker</author><text>I think it&amp;#x27;s a bit sad that &amp;#x2F;now pages are going into a direction of listicles&amp;#x2F;media people consume and so on.
