Hacker News Reader

Tried https://nytimes.com/ to see what I get. The output https://web0.cc/a/rLk0Tnn2K- was not what I expected.

It's designed for reading articles, I wouldn't expect the front page to work well.

Here's an opinion article from the Times, seems to work fine:

Suggestion for web0: include the final part of the URL in the new URL, so you can at least make a guess as to what it is. Include a GUID at the end if you need to disambiguate.

Thanks for checking the app, SamBam.

Do you mean like this https://web0.cc/a/zTHtZFEXci?url=https://www.nytimes.com/202...

That's good, although anyone can put anything there.

https://web0.cc/a/zTHtZFEXci?url=https://haxx0r.c0m

I was thinking more along the lines of

https://web0.cc/a/opinion/english-literature-study-zTHtZFEXc...

Of course it doesn't actually grant you security.

What if your original link with the `url=` refused to load if the target didn't match the query parameter? That would actually make it secure, no?
