Lobsters is a computing-focused community centred around link aggregation and discussion. IMO, It's one of the best tech discussions on the internet.

Thank you for maintaining Newsit. It's great.

Hey @g-berthiaume, Glad to hear you like it! Lobsters has actually been requested before and I left a very detailed response here
Basically, it doesn't have an API and includes CORS protection, making it impossible for clients to search the site from a browser extension. If you know of a free API for lobsters let me know! 👍

Ah my apologies for the issue duplication.
