🧠 Notes

• License: Distributed under the GPL for learning, auditing, and derivative works.
• Customization tips (Expertise): Centralize feed parsing; debounce search; lazy-load hero images; prefetch next section; gate heavy analytics behind Remote Config.
• Performance: Use WebP/AVIF artwork, pagination + placeholders, and background isolates for parsing large RSS.
• SEO (store listings): Keyword-rich titles (“news, video, live, weather, polls”), localized descriptions, high-contrast screenshots, and a 15–30s promo video.
