Xophz Lemon-Aid (Alphabet Soup)
Category: Trajectory · Version: 0.0.1
An RSS feed aggregator and user curation spark natively integrated into YouMeOS.
Description
Lemon-Aid (technically known as xophz-compass-alphabet-soup) is an RSS aggregation engine for YouMeOS. It serves a dual purpose: operating as a personal feed reader where users can organize their preferred news sources, and acting as a crowdsourced curation engine for the global "Noosphere" collective feed.
Core Capabilities
- RSS Aggregation – Background cron jobs automatically fetch the latest XML updates from configured RSS feeds.
- The Sugar vs Lemon Mechanic – Gamified user feedback on incoming stories:
- Sugar (Upvote): Positive reinforcement for high-quality content.
- Lemon (Downvote): Negative feedback for low-quality or irrelevant content.
- Noosphere Promotion – Stories that meet a specific "Sweetness Ratio" (more sugar than lemon) are promoted dynamically to the global Noosphere feed.
- REST API – Normalizes feed items and emits them via REST for consumption by the Vue-based Lemon-Aid Spark.
Requirements
- Xophz COMPASS parent plugin (active)
- WordPress 5.8+, PHP 7.4+
Installation
- Ensure Xophz COMPASS is installed and active.
- Upload
xophz-compass-alphabet-soupto/wp-content/plugins/. - Activate through the Plugins menu.
