    Can you tell us a little bit about this newsreader (perhaps in a new
    thread)?

    Over time, many people have been looking for a good/reasonable
    newsreader and found there are few and none of them good.

    I don't think 'PyKiN' ever came up in those discussions, hence the
    interest.

    (N.B. *I* am not really interested in an Android newsreader, but I know
    other are.)

    I wrote it, in Python using Kivy, to handle Mozilla's news server, now
    closed down. It's incomplete, and _v e r y_ slow. I recently started using
    it again because my previous Android newsreader could no longer quote
    properly. It's far too slow for release.

    It would probably be a good idea to change the name.
