Summary: NewsWaffle is taken to the next level; people can stay abreast of news from all around the world (in any language) without leaving their Gemini client

THE EMINENT developer who made a GitHub proxy and a YouTube proxy for Gemini users is probably best known for NewsWaffle. It's widely used by many people already. We link to it dozens of times every day in IRC. In a nutshell, NewsWaffle converts just about any major news site into a Gemini 'capsule' with images, headlines etc. No more cookies, JavaScript, CSS, pop-ups, and clickbait in sidebars. Tracking too is curtailed by the proxy.

"NewsWaffle can be chained/combined with all sorts of other software to accomplish mass adoption for Gemini Protocol."In light of the success and popularity of NewsWaffle, the developer is now adding aggregators for NewsWaffle and has this example using Yahoo!, which is demonstrated in the video above.

NewsWaffle has been very revolutionary for Geminispace and the Gemini community. It basically makes millions of new pages available in Gemini Protocol every day, albeit generated dynamically, 'on the fly'...

The fidelity of the translation from HTML to GemText is very impressive and since even images are included it makes one wonder if the original HTML versions are favourable in any way whatsoever. NewsWaffle can be chained/combined with all sorts of other software to accomplish mass adoption for Gemini Protocol. ⬆
