Improve introduction

{{Project|status=beta|url=https://normalizer.webflux.us/}}My introduction to "undirected search" was two brief but eventful years working for Jibril Jackson's startup HYVE, which made me aware of the problems that scale causes for a typical social media timeline.  When [https://sauropods.win/@futurebird/109971101661561998 @futurebird@sauropods.win mentioned] the fun idea of a customizable timeline, I gave it a try and I'm happy with the results so far.  The demo requires an account on any Mastodon instance, but please feel free to take the idea and apply it to your preferred network.
{{Project|status=beta|url=https://normalizer.webflux.us/}}My introduction to "undirected search" was two brief but eventful years working for Jibril Jackson's startup HYVE, which made me aware of Dunbar's number, the limits of how much attention we can pay our friends, and how social media tilts the scales so that the loudest voice is heard most.

When @futurebird@sauropods.win mentioned the fun idea of a [https://sauropods.win/@futurebird/109971101661561998 customizable timeline] as something that comes up regularly in discussions about improving Mastodon, I recognized the perennial problem and decided to give a whack at the solution so that we can see what it looks like.  I'm happy with the results so far!  You can try the demo using a Mastodon from anywhere, and the tool acts as a web client letting you browse your own account through a simple set of lenses.
 
If you like the idea, please feel free to borrow [https://gitlab.com/adamwight/mastodon-normalizer the code] or reimplement it on your preferred platform.
