alt Hacker NewsIt's really fantastic. I just wished there were fewer restrictions on the content that is accessible.
(a lot is only accessible from Norwegian IP addresses, so it's one of the main reasons I maintain a VPN as I'm Norwegian but live in the UK; a second set is only available from the IP addresses of libraries or research institutions - still huge amounts that are generally available, though)

Silly question but can a non-Norwegian also access it? Willing to pick up some Norwegian along the way ;-)

My biggest gripe with it are the restrictions, indeed.
When searching through the closed newspapers, you have to apply for access manually, which gives you 8 hours of access. Great. Only that the access is seemingly manually granted - so if you apply 16:05 on a Friday, chances are you won't get any access until 9-10 the next Monday.
With that said, I do understand why it is like that. If people could apply via API, and get instant access, they would probably just stop buying newspaper subscriptions.
