I have too many projects, one that I shelved was &quot;Reddit-as-a-filesystem&quot;, because I was messing around with Dokany [1] at the time.<p>The same kind of thinking (Reddit-&gt;FUSE-&gt;Files) could be applied to a Reddit -&gt; Gopher proxy. To reduce the cost of the project, I&#x27;d make it self-host the Gopher server on the user&#x27;s PC and make the API calls from there, rather than setting up gopher-hackernews.xyz:70<p>My gut feeling is that the slowest part of this would be the API call to HN [2] or Reddit [3].<p>[2]: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;HackerNews&#x2F;API" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;HackerNews&#x2F;API</a><p>[3]: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.reddit.com&#x2F;dev&#x2F;api" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.reddit.com&#x2F;dev&#x2F;api</a><p>[1]: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;dokan-dev&#x2F;dokany" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;dokan-dev&#x2F;dokany</a>
