Hmm, nothing in South America, Africa, India, China, Russia. :-/

Update - current Fossil versions no longer store user passwords unencrypted as shown in the "Setting up" section of this article.

Newsgrouper is my site. It's not literally "banned", but after spending quite a bit of time studying the Online Safety Act and Ofcom's guidance, I concluded that it was just not practical to comply with its far-reaching requirements, and since I am in the UK I can't risk ignoring UK law.

I run newsgrouper.org as a hobby project. My architecture cannot support searching within article text, only by author, subject and/or date within one group at a time (or the set of groups you have subscribed to). Usenet-Rewind does support full-text search.

A classic, but somewhat dated now.

This makes no sense to me. Tcl does have a central event loop. I'm not sure what you mean by "building up a significant scaffolding" - the event system is powerful enough and flexible enough to support all kinds of uses. :-/

The target market is "power users" who want maximum functionality and don't care much about prettiness.

I used to work on some of the code behind those "clunky" screens.
