[users] [ANN] News.php, yet another news site

1. sose-iwnl (sose-iwnl (a) protonmail.com)

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,

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.
