On desktop, Jumble.social is currently my daily driver and I love the "24h Pulse".

I can just check in with the people I care about without finding my timeline flooded by Gigi's boosts for example. I find this makes the experience more "social" as it gives a focus to the author I'm following and not only the content that's streaming at me.
I wish there was a variant of this though. Let's call it "Friend Pulse": I want to peek into what **all** my follows are up to - and quite literally feel their pulse as in check if they are still around. Show a list of all my follows but show the most recent post of each. When I select one, load a page worth of more of their posts. This way I can cycle through my follows and check in on them or unfollow them if they abandoned nostr for good.
