Default I've been thinking....

I've been thinking, Newsgroups are slowly dying as less and less people seem
able to get to them. Most new computer users use web based mail which means
they cannot get to the wealth of Newsgroups, indeed they have no way of
knowing about them. What is needed is an App for phones, tablets and modern
computers that allows them to get to Usenet and it's Newsgroups, allows them
to read and post and that deals with Ngs in the conventional way. A
"killfile" would be nice too.
Anyone out there capable of writing such an App?

I believe that the newsreader considered most suitable for use with
android is Piaohong. See
https://play.google.com/store/apps/d...ewsgroup&hl=en
or
https://play.google.com/store/apps/d...wsReader&hl=en
for free version. Or just do a web search on "Piaohong".
Unfortunately it seems to be available only from the Google store, so I
haven't tried it.
There are quite a few other Newsreaders which are just that - you can
read posts but can't make them!
