  This is a web gateway to the Usenet discussion groups. I've been working on it for a while and think it's now in a reasonably functional state. It aims to be useable on desktop or mobile devices. Javascript is not required but if it's disabled the keyboard shortcuts will not work.

  It may be useful to people who are interested in following or participating in newsgroup discussions but who find it impractical to set up an NNTP client. Anyone can read as a guest but you need to register to be able to post. Only text groups are supported, no binary content.

  I'm open to suggestions for things that should be fixed or improved, though I can't guarantee to implement everything. The source code is online at https://chiselapp.com/user/cmacleod/repository/newsgrouper/h... .
