Hacker News Reader

Same for the Netherlands. I read this every day rather than the big newspapers or news channels...

It makes me pine for the days of Gopher.

What do you miss about Gopher?

All data, simple navigation, no BS.

Might as well drop in the danish one here: http://ttv.tv2.dk/

Same for Switzerland: http://www.teletext.ch/

> (especially on a TV where load times are zero)

I haven’t seen any one TV like that. Poland’s Teletext services are full of lonely hearts spam and are generally worthless, even though still alive.

Same thing for Germany! http://www.ard-text.de/

It even has a mobile app and it is the fastest loading news app I know of and it loads even with the slowest connection. Due to restrictions of the medium, the text is short and to the point. As there are no analytics with Teletext, clickbait has never arrived there. More sites should follow that model.

The mobile version is the homepage of my desktop browser :)

Same thing in Poland & Croatia, probably many other EU countries
