[ANN] Geminews: News feeds over gemini

1. Brian Evans (b__m__e (a) mailfence.com)

Hi all,
I have mostly been stepping away from gemini development, mostly in favor 
of making non-gemini-specific improvements 
to my existing software proejcts and also in favor of adding things to 
read to the gemini-sphere. Toward the later I have
set up some news scraping similar to floodgaps "flood feeds" section.

If you would like to get some news over gemini head to:

gemini://rawtext.club/~sloum/geminews/

Currently I am scraping: NPR, CNN, and Christian Science Monitor (which 
actually has some quality reporting even if I
do not ascribe to their beliefs in general). If I end up with time I may 
add to this list, but that should give a taste of what
is going on from a few different sources.

Enjoy.

Very nice! Are you scraping full-fat web pages and distilling them down,
or are you relying on (e.g.) text.npr.org for a simpler structure to
scrape? Or are you using rss feeds? Because I'd love to see the
Intercept added, and maybe the Grauniad.

I am using the stripped down text versions of each of those news providers.
I had actually not thought of RSS feeds. That could be a good way to go too.
I'll look into the publications you mentioned. :)
