Should we start building up a collection of these lite news websites so people can make an extension to automatically redirect to them.

Maybe a GitHub repo with a list of these?

Here are the two I use the most

But at least yours is not dead. Wish there was a wiki site instead of github, seems a waste to keep a history when all you want is the latest version.

I actually worked on that for a bit but, looking at the plain html ugly result, I didn't think anyone would actually want to use it so I never made a proper release. Maybe with a little bit of css and more supported sites it could go somewhere.

I'm using it for one website still, basically cutting out the part from <h1> to the end of article, after they killed their perfectly fine .mobi website, but afaik I'm the only one. (There were two more sites but they broke.) If you're interested in working on this, give me a ping (email in profile).
