12+### Your own social feed, forever.
13+
14+Urbit is a networked personal server. It is the ideal stack to host a microblog service.
15+
16+For years Urbit users have been busy chatting to each other, coordinating to build the network. But it is time that we lay back a little and just post at our leisure.
17+
18+Trill is an Urbit native microblog. You can post text or media links into your feed, make threads, and share it with your friends and followers. You can also build a timeline of your favorite Urbit users, and keep lists of users, categorized as you want.
19+
20+Unlike other microblogs, however, users of Trill truly own their feed. Users host their own content. They can even program it; tinker with the source as much as you want.
21+
22+There are no ads in Trill, no "trends", no analytics. We don't even know how many people are using Trill. And we don't care. We just want to trill. Please join the party.
23+
24+### More information
25+You can install the app by searching for ~dister-dozzod-sortug on your Grid interface, or by running `|install ~dister-dozzod-sortug %trill` in Dojo.
26+
27+The official group of the app is at ~hoster-dozzod-sortug/trill on the Groups app.

12+### Own your content, share it with your friends
13+
14+Urbit is your personal server. Why do you want a personal server? Many things. But one of them, part of the initial vision of Urbit's development, was to use to interact programatically with the Web. To interact with Web services, but in your own terms. Using your chosen frontend, blocking all tracking, telemetry, analytics and other malicious code. Urbit as an API aggregator.
15+
16+The Urbit Feed Aggregator (aka UFA) makes that vision true. Now you will be able to browse the best content on the internet, but really own it, like people used to own books, magazines and newspapers. Control, curate, save and share your the content you like, with complete freedom.
17+
18+UFA is not just an app, it's a platform to which a myriad apps will be added in the future. As of present (August 2022) UFA includes support for Trill (our sister app, the Urbit native microblog) and Twitter. You can read and keep lists of Twitter content without having to login to Twitter.com, and you can save and share that content inside Urbit, via the Trill or Groups apps.
19+
20+### More information

24+
25+You can also follow ~sortug on Trill for announcements.
26+
27+Within 2022 RSS, Instagram and Email support will be added. For the future, the sky is the limit. If you want to help create a new plugin for UFA, please contact us at the official group.
