"Avantslash is touting a user hosted perl script that, if paired with any web browser with JavaScript, promises to shave crucial bytes off of the standard Slash-based experience, one of which is our very own SoylentNews. Audiences include those with very limited bandwidth, such as those in developing countries with only 2G mobile access or dialup."

    Cool! But just to be clear, the software isn't "mine." I just bought a domain and set up an instance of Avantslash [avantslash.org] that you're free to use.
