Re: Newsgrouper - a web interface to Usenet (text only)

It's not really
usable on mobile devices yet, I hope to improve this. The architecture
can be summarised as nntp/Tcl/Redis/Tcl/Tk/Xvnc/Cloudflare/noVNC.

 
I see, I never considered that it might be implemented that way, I
was expecting some fairly bare-bones HTML.

I have now reimplemented Newsgrouper in "fairly bare-bones HTML",
partly because I couldn't get the noVNC-based version to be properly
usable on mobile devices.  There are still many desirable features
that I have not implemented yet, but hope to get to eventually.
One aspect that may be of interest is that it supports the full set of
newsgroups available on eternal-september.org, not just a pre-selected
subset as rslight does. It can be found at https://cmacleod.me.uk/ng
