## Aggregation
See below for initial thoughts on aggregation. A simpler approach is to allow the user to follow any page, store a cache of the page, poll periodically, and display any change delta. This approach will work for both common Gemlog formats (links to separate pages, or journal single page logs):
State when user chooses to follow a page:
```
=> bar/ link to a gemlog page
=> foo/ my first post
```
3rd party updates their blog:
```
=> baz/ new post!
=> bar/ link to a gemlog page
=> foo/ my first post
```
Delta displayed in app feed:
```
=> baz/ new post!
```
## Aggregation (Original Notes)
There's a lot of good 'Gemlog' content in Geminispace but no easy way to follow other users. Rather than use Atom/RSS which requires users to manually edit xml files, or use some other software it'd be good if a defacto standard emerged. Två will attempt to infer a Gemlog index from the contents of a page and display a 'follow' option to add the Gemlog to an aggregated in-app feed:
### Inferred
* Presence of various words in the first few lines of content AND:
* A series of links that include a date (where a gemlog links to other pages) OR:
* A series of dates in the page (more difficult to get right, but some microblogs are just a series of entries separated by dates)
### Specification A
To guarantee an option to follow content: first header (any of the 3 sizes) in a page includes the words: `gemlog`, `feed`, `log`, `blog`, `μlog` AND links on adjacent lines that include dates in the link title.
Date formats:
* `yyyy-mm-dd` ISO 8601
* `dd-mm-yyyy` Reverse ISO 8601
* Either of above with other common delimiters, eg. _01/05/2020_
Example:
```
# My Gemlog
=> /more dd/mm/yyyy optional
=> /another dd/mm/yyyy
=> /first dd/mm/yyyy hello, World!
```
### Questions/Notes
* American 'freedom' date format `mm/dd/yyyy` should be rejected if possible (what were they thinking?)
* Two digit years should be ignored: `dd/mm/yy` - no way to safely infer date
* Other date formats? I've seen `dd-MMM-yy`, `ddMMMyy`, `yyyy-mm-dd`
* Some gemlogs have no dates at all
