Super Fast Text-Only Sites?


Both CNN[0] and NPR[1] have extremely fast, simple, text-only versions of their sites.

Do any other news outlets offer similar services? Would be nice to collate all these ultra-lightweight sites in a list.

A related thing to consider: I've been thoroughly enjoying sites built on the gemini protocol[0]

They're all written in a sort of restricted markdown, and the community seems to be a pretty fun place to be.

Not news, but Reddit: https://i.reddit.com/

Much faster to load than the current Reddit website. How long it will remain active is anyone's guess.
