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.
thanks!

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. -- +-----------------------------------------------------------+ | Jason F.

That could be a good way to go too. I'll look into the publications you mentioned. :)
