There are two different ones in HaikuArchives, NewsBe: github.com/HaikuArchives/NewsBe and Item: github.com/HaikuArchives/Item - I found NewsBe a few months earlier and planned to base my work on it, but it crashes frequently and I didn't make a successful network connection with it so far. Item, on the other hand, works without major issues and connects to my newsserver just fine. That it only shows the logged-out content should be rather easy to fix. The major missing puzzle piece is a built-in article viewer and editor, it uses a external text editor that isn't optimized for this task currently. Anyway, I decided for Item to be the base for my modernization efforts, so that Haiku will hopefully soon have a first-class native Usenet experience. Show more
