The Guardian are a lot more cool with it. To get an API key on their

open platform, you need to jump through some hoops and get approval. But

in principal they're not against having their content redistributed.

We, as a project (Simple Web) try to avoid using official APIs,especially if they require API keys and such because we want oursoftware to be able to be run by everyone without requiring an API keyor developer account or such. SimplyNews is not just a gemini service,but also available as a web service and (in the works) a desktopapplication. This is why it would be unsuitable to use API keys.

I really like that, especially because it allows you to choose the RSSfeed you want to look at (we have something like this planned, and wecall it "sections" but it's far from being implemented due to lack oftime)

By the way, I really like Simple News. Great work.

Thanks :)
