Subject: Gnus on the web?
Date: Sat, 20 Feb 2016 08:44:52 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <upzcy4afygej.fsf@dod.no> (raw)

After a firewall policy change at work, I am without access to Gmane at
work.  I can't even SSH out to run Gnus on a different machine.

But HTTP and HTTPS are open, and web browsers can be used to surf the
internet. 

I have been pondering to install some webmail solution on my mail
server, but:
 1. All of the webmails I have tried have had a user interface I don't
    like (and also unfamiliar)
 2. Existing webmail systems won't give me NNTP access to Gmane

So: would it be possible to create a web service that could run Gnus in
a web browser?

The user experience could be similar to what I get from ssh or mosh.
That would be good enough just to check my email, and check for
responses to Gmane group postings.

(On the other hand... maybe a slight disconnection from the net will do
me good...)
