Robin is an open-sourced, unofficial client that shows X posts from people you follow. It is not affiliated with or sponsored by SpaceXAI. Robin shows your timeline in a focused session — posts from accounts you follow, in the order they were published. No algorithmic ordering or additional posts by other people you don't follow. This matters because we use our information stream to form opinions and act; an as-it-happens news feed is good for decision making.
