[gopher] ANNOUNCE: New Web Portal for USENET

Looks cool and works for people like me who like a simple user interface without all the clutter of Google or regular websites. Plus I know of no usenet newsreaders for both MacOS or Chromebook, platforms that I commonly use. Plus I think this will work on my Android phone and my aging Nintendo DSi which I use for text browsing websites like Floodgap Gopher and SDF Gopher, etc.

Nice and clean. Bookmarked for potential use in the future. Good job.

I typically use NNTP via SSH into RPoD (my Raspberry Pi that's internet hitable), due to the afore mentioned syncing issue with USENET.

Hi All,

What with the ongoing discussion on where the list is going, and lots of
peoples adversion to USENET and Google Groups (the latter of which I
also dislike), I spent a couple of hours last night, coding up this:

http://www.jaruzel.com/apps/usenet

It's 100% a proof of concept, and very rough around the edges, and also
doesn't have any posting ability (yet!), but it's something I've been
meaning to do for quite some time, as there are quite a few low traffic
USENET groups I want to start following regularly.

So, is this useful or not? If it was fleshed out into a proper platform
would people use it? Does it help in the on-going conversation of
whether to migrate to comp.infosystems.gopher or not?

Of course, it's not that hard to evolve what I've got to include a
mailing list function and a proper domain for it to live on etc. Which I
am happy to host and manage.

If there's no takers, then fine. As I said it's something I've wanted to
have anyway... :)

Cheers,

Matt (Jaruzel)
