neo146 - connect like it's 1984 =============================== neo146 provides a minimal (and experimental!) information gateway that serves as an emergency network connection method inspired by dial-up, allowing you to access content via certain protocols. The current implementations are HTTP-SMS gateway and HTTP-Markdown gateway. The name "neo146" comes from the Turkish historic public dial-up service, which operated on dial number 146. This project is created within a few days to support the protesters during the 19 March 2025 uprising in Turkey, following the arrest of the mayor of Istanbul, Ekrem Imamoglu who is the opposition's presidental candidate. The service is free, but running it costs about 20 EUR per month, and also 5-20 cents per message for the SMS gateway; please use responsibly. For supporting the service and a better experience, please consider donating and subscribing. SMS responses are base64 encoded for using less SMS credits. Multiple messages are used to send longer responses, the sequence of messages is indicated in the response as "GW|" prefix. HTTP responses are not encoded by default, but can be requested with b64=true parameter. +-------------------+ | +90 850 242 0 146 | +-------------------+ Available SMS Commands: - URL (https://...) - Fetch and convert any webpage to Markdown format - "twitter user " - Get the last 5 tweets from a Twitter user - "websearch " - Search the web using DuckDuckGo - "wiki <2charlangcode> " - Get Wikipedia article summary - "weather " - Get weather forecast for a location HTTP Endpoints: - /uri2md?uri=[&b64=true] - Convert URI to Markdown - /twitter?user=[&b64=true] - Get last 5 tweets of a user - /ddg?q=[&b64=true] - Search the web via DuckDuckGo - /wiki?lang=<2charlangcode>&q=[&b64=true] - Get Wikipedia article summ. - /weather?loc= - Get weather forecast --------------- Roadmap: - ~Add Wikipedia support~ (done!) - ~Add weather data~ (done!) - Android app and browser (in progress) - Build up a portal and put actual content frequently similar to old ISPs - Providing a real public dial-up service for emergency use - Bell 202-or-similar AFSK voice modem support - LoRaWAN support - APRS and HF-APRS mediums - Transmitting pictures through neo146 via SSTV - Satellite Internet to circumvent censorships and infrastructure blocks - Any suggestions from you!
