Years ago I had an RSS News Feed plugin in Firefox that I loved, not a scrolling one but it was nice anyway, and I always wondered why there never was an RSS News Feed in the style of the SimCity 3000 news ticker (well actually like news channels but that was the iteration I loved the most), smoothly scrolling with news titles in a constant motion.
Speaking to many people about the game I realized they had the same fond memories of that news ticker during gameplay. Being a thing that so many people loved, it always surprised me it was never implemented as a plugin for browsers so we could enjoy it every day, like the simpler one I described. Would it be hard to do such a thing, incorporating news titles from different websites and thematics and displaying them continuously? I always wondered why RSS Feeds aren't a thing anymore, they made me feel more connected to the internet than anything else
