Bug description:
  It would be nice if there were an UI to create your own (virtual)
  aggregator scopes straight from the Unity8 dash without any
  programming efforts. 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.
