This looks really cool! Are there any plans to open source the code so that people (I) can run it locally? I doubt the service wants me adding my 1000+ feeds.
>Skip uninteresting items with newsreader scoring/killfiles<p>In my opinion, there is one step missing to bring nntp back to mainstream: votes. If there were a standard for votes, or feedbase.org would implement a standard, or clients would agree on using the ActivityPub protocol to keep track of votes, then reading nntp wouldn't be work like clearing a mail inbox but addictive like a Facebook feed.
Nice! I've been wanting something like this in combination with hnrss.org to have my feed/news reader (Emacs?) allow me to revisit a HN thread and show unread comments (since I last looked at the comments). I think there's still some glue to be done too make that all work nicely.
Was confused by "news reader" since thought that's what RSS readers are, but then realized it's about Usenet. Never used that for news, only... stuff...
