  • Usenet over NNCP

    There is a hacker news API so somebody could set up an NNTP server with an HN newsgroup. Looks like it's already been done, at least for personal use. If a newsgroup is read-only and only on one NNTP server, does it count as usenet? Is that like the sound of one hand clapping?

    Honorable mention for gwene.org which converts RSS feeds into NNTP and gmane.org that converts mailing lists into NNTP.

  • Keeping up with replies to HN comments
    1 project | news.ycombinator.com | 6 Jun 2022
    Recently I've had a weird desire to go try HN over NNTP, the newgroups/usenet protocol. There's no official support, but there's at least one open source app to translate, expose the official API via NNTP. There's a wide variety of NNTP/newsgroup/usenet clients already, so I imagine at least a couple of them would give you watch lists, let you fav or mark threads to help you see replies.

    The topic is a bit hard to search for on this site, because we get all kinds of Ask HN's with general newgroups/usenet questions. But I remember their being some options. One I found relatively quickly was https://github.com/gromnitsky/hackernews2nntp .
