✨ NAME ✨

strn — scanning threaded read news program 🦋

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

trn [options] [newsgroups]

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

okay so the tea is: strn has been replaced by trn, version 4.0. 💅 like, it's not gone-gone, it's just… moved on to bigger things. (and for the record, the last independent version of strn was version 0.9.2 — a real one, we honor her 🫶)

trn is a threaded version of rn, which is itself a replacement for the readnews(1) program. so it's giving… legacy lineage, main character energy, generations of news readers all stacked up 😭💖
