Hey everyone, I've just set up a new news site, News.php. It's basically a mirror of Google News, with a layout similar to 68k.news. You can pass the same query strings to it as you would to Google News in order to get a customized feed. It runs as a cgi script, and articles are generated dynamically with another cgi script, reader.php, which can be used independently to "reader mode"-ify articles into gemtext. News.php is here: gemini://illegaldrugs.net/cgi-bin/news.php reader.php is here: gemini://illegaldrugs.net/cgi-bin/reader Sources are here: https://tildegit.org/sose/News.php and here: https://tildegit.org/sose/reader.php Hope it proves useful to some, - sose

That's really neat, thank you for doing this. Some people have had some
concerns about the legal aspects of mirroring, but I think 68k.news is a
lot more high profile, so you'll hear about something happening to them
well before they come for you.
