Me and my friends often share articles on our xmpp chatroom, some of them are behind paywalls and we all of use don't have subscriptions to the same websites.

So I have a parser that checks for url of paywall articles being posted. When it happens, the python script logs to the corresponding website and rehost the content of the article on my server. Finally it posts a new link — with no paywall this time — in the chatroom.

This required asking my friends for their login information on the websites where I don't have a subscription, but it made the whole process of sharing articles way easier.
