feed-generator VS indigo

One of the things I like about Bluesky and ATProto is that you can build your own feed algorithms to do things like this.

You'd probably have to write your own UI to enable buttons / inputs to simplify the reconfiguration (I want to look at a different set of users now).

Here’s some docs and some code that give an overview of how feeds work:

https://docs.bsky.app/docs/starter-templates/custom-feeds

https://github.com/bluesky-social/feed-generator

Although, the new Twitter alternative Bluesky has significant traction (including many rats/postrats) and custom recsys is in their mission statement. Simple versions are already deployed, see https://github.com/bluesky-social/feed-generator

I'm looking into it now as well. This is the "starter kit" repo: https://github.com/bluesky-social/feed-generator

Bluesky explains, “Feeds are custom algorithms that users build with a little coding expertise.” Unfortunately my coding experience is less than tiny and the Github instructions are beyond my experience level. https://github.com/bluesky-social/feed-generator

I'm not a front-end engineer, so https://github.com/bluesky-social/feed-generator has been less than instructive as to how to actually set up the dependencies needed to start on this, and I genuinely have no clue what to do. I'm also not a typescript guy, so this is basically me walking aimlessly. Anyone have experience with this or a resource that's a little more dumbed down?

Explanation of how it actually works, please read before making assumptions: https://atproto.com/docs

If I host my own identity server can I bypass the need for an invite? Maybe it's this? https://github.com/bluesky-social/indigo
