Will we see feed-algorithms-as-a-service (FAAAS) someday? Whereby any FC client allows the user to select their preferred algo from a list of open-source options published in a standard format to GitHub.

Various algos would offer followers only, followers + their followers, language-specific, zero-censorship, OGs, etc

I call this idea the "feed marketplace" as opposed to "feed-as-a-service" which is what @openrank and others are doing. 

The challenge building a "choose your algorithm" is that the most interesting feeds are no longer just "algorithms" or fancy SQL queries.

For hourly use I’d definitely want a highly performant feed.

But I’d also love to check other feeds for example from an algo marketplace from time to time and it wouldn’t matter much if they load in 1sec or 1min.

In case many pick similar algos, it might be worth creating a true instant feed for it!
