Public bug reported:

It would be nice if there were an UI to create your own (virtual)
aggregator scopes without any programming effort. They would then
display data from a few scopes which the user would be able to select
from the ones he has installed using a layout the user would be able to
define as well. Then there would be a new page in the Unity8 dash which
collocates the data in the way the user wanted to.

Here's a usage scenario outlining why I think this functionality is
important:

Let's say you read news from 4 custom news sources regularly for which
scopes do exist. Currently, you then need to favorite all of them
separately, resulting in the addition of 4 pages to the dash. As a
result, you will have to swipe a lot to reach the scopes you want, which
is quite annoying.

Now imagine you need to do the same for other types of content and you
will have a notion of how crowded your dash will become. To keep it
short, the user experience will be suboptimal.
