Hey HN! Author here.

I created this app so I could track the personal blogs and websites from the people I follow on Mastodon. It was something that I noticed specially on Mastodon: there were many interesting and quirky websites of the accounts I follow there, stuff that it would be really hard to come by otherwise thanks to search engines enshittification. So Mastonews was the way I found to solve this discoverability problem and to display the feed to me with emphasis in the Mastodon account the website is related to.

The website works right away with accounts that have public follows, it only requests an OAuth if your follows are private. If you don't have an account on Mastodon, feel free to use my account to test it out: "henriquelalves@mastodon.gamedev.place"

I wrote a bit about my main motivation behind this website on my blog: https://henriquelalves.com/posts/notes-about-making-the-web-.... Feel free to ask me anything or give me feedback on Mastonews!
