Sidebar category configuration -- just follow watching/tracking instead of having separate config?

Reviving here in light of working with @nathank’s Custom Homepage. I’m wondering if there’s an appetite still for this, or if I should go the custom route (which is fine).

My Discourse utopia is:

  • Current Sidebar Categories + Sidebar Tags reflect Tracking. This narrows the current complexity.
    … so for example, your Tracking and Sidebar configurations could/would be altered upon joining a Group, which might have baked in Tracking for certain tags/categories. Ostensibly, this would be a good thing.
  • Allow user to set Default home screen to reflect “Interests”

Could be my use case is unique enough. But I’m open to people poking holes in the logic.
