    Nice to see old protocols used for new purposes - I'm using nntp for some things it wasn't designed for (mailing lists, RSS/Atom-feeds), but which fits nicely. I understand the wish not to be dependent on a third party - but

    I'm still using hpodder, even though its development has ceased 5+ years ago - works for me. When listing xmonad it's also worth mentioning xmobar. Do websites that are implemented using Haskell "count"?
