On: Ask HN: What tools/add-ons/sites do you use to get most out of Hacker News?

I had the same need, but didn't want to use Yahoo! pipes, so I submitted a small patch:

Taking that one step further, you can convert RSS to NNTP via http://gwene.org/

This is awesome and brought a big smile to my face! Some questions:

- Is trn still the most awesome news reader? It's been a while since I've used NNTP.

- Does gwene.org still update? Every feed I found in the search results was last updated in March 2014 :(

- Apart from RSS->NNTP being cool, is there any real situation in which I'd want to use this?
