Gwene is an RSS (and Atom, etc) to Usenet News (i. e., NNTP) gateway
- ge0rg 14y agoWow, this is something I wished for since the creation of RSS. Somehow, the RSS design failed to provide features that were already there in NNTP, like differential updates and message/reply (post/comment) threading...
- KC8ZKF 14y agoAt least for now, this is my replacement for Google Reader. I've set up Emacs Gnus, subscribed to the half-dozen or so blogs that I care about, and now I read in the comfort Emacs.
- asjo 14y agoHere is a little video I made showing how to use Gnus in Emacs to read RSS via Gwene: http://vimeo.com/asjo/rss-in-emacs http://vimeo.com/asjo/rss-in-emacs
- mhd 14y agoAny reason to use this over the builtin `nnrss` backend?
- asjo 14y agoOnly that nntp is more mature than nnrss in Gnus, in my experience. I only had nnrss working well when I used an external script to fetch the feeds via cron (there is an example in the documentation). When Lars created Gwene, I switched to use that instead.
- octoploid 14y agoThis is great. If you sign up for new feeds they will be available almost immediately. I'm using Gwene with mutt as my newsreader.
- tracker1 14y agoThis would be cool with an alt.rss-feed.DOMAIN-COM translator... could even be used as a backend for an up and coming web-rss platform.
