1a1Reading public channels without an account

1 · Overview
What it is, and why it exists.
The second pass at the same idea as TeleStream, with the account taken out: add public channels by handle and read them as one feed, with the follow list held in the browser.
TeleStream worked, but it asked for a phone number and a Telegram session before it showed anything, which is a lot to ask of a reader.
FeedGram drops that entirely. You type a channel handle, it appears in the sidebar, and the posts show up. The follow list is yours and lives in your browser; nothing is stored server-side because there is no account to store it against.

1a1aWhat I did
The reader works from the public web preview each channel already exposes, so it only ever sees what is public anyway and needs no credentials at all.
