Fair enough, I wasn't aware of the difference between both. I guess being aware of it makes sense. I'm not entirely sure that it doesn't make sense for Alligator to also support remote feed aggregation but I personally do not know. Having them both on KDE Gear would be more confusing than anything. I wouldn't really push you to getting the project in invent.kde.org right now just because. Maybe if you ever consider going through the lifecycle, it's something we can look into? https://community.kde.org/Policies/Application_Lifecycle Salut! :) Aleix
