https://text.npr.org is also a text only version of npr

I remember using both this and cnn lite 8 years ago quite a bit right around this time, cool to see they’re still going strong.

nice, reminds me using rss decades ago

Also this site works great in text browsers like Lynx.

Lynx wrapped in Docker:

I said "heh" out loud over this.

"let's bootstrap a whole OS to run a light weight html renderer" is just something we should all take a moment to marvel at.

To be clear:

- "Whole OS" is a standard alpine image (4MB) with just lynx installed via standard alpine package. Plus a layer for Lynx itself and entrypoint.sh script.

So a very standardized way to run it, with reusable popular base image, decent backbone for delivering it to the public, with ability to easily mirror and/or cache (done by default) each layer. Currently base Alpine has 0 known vulnerabilities, which may not be 0 tomorrow, but it's still a marvel that it ever has such low number. New versions are available instantly after developer creates new public image, without the need for maintainer of a distribution to look at it. Meanwhile your main OS can live it's own life in his own pace, without interference.

It doesn't sound scary at all, if you really have a closer look.
