** Description changed:

  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.

+ --------UX comment---------
+ 
+ This is part of a bigger redesign across different projects. The
+ required design for this bug is ‘paused' while we await the outcome of
+ ongoing discussions regarding the Scopes as apps and Scopes
+ customisation projects.
