App to mount hosts based on Steve Boswell's feed of TNFS servers

Opened this issue · 0 comments

Steve runs a TNFS sever on his atari8bit.net site, and has a "Fujinet Server Status" page page which includes a a "Other Public TNFS Servers" section at the bottom (as noted in a post to the "FujiNet User's Group" Facebook group on 2024-04-28 by @tschak909)

I asked if he could provide a JSON feed, which has done so at: https://atari8bit.net/tnfsservers.php

Output, for example:

{
    "data": [
        {
            "address": "13leader.net",
            "owner": "Paul Jones",
            "country": "CA",
            "updn": "UP",
            "desc": "Custom Demo, Games and Homebrew collections"
        },
        {
            "address": "alcatrazbbs.ddns.net",
            "owner": "moonlight_mile",
            "country": "US",
            "updn": "UP",
            "desc": "TOSEC, BBS Software"
        },
...

My thought is there could be an app that reads this JSON, and offers a way for users to (on their Atari/etc.) mount one of the listed TNFS servers in one of their FujiNet's host slots.

Alternatively, provide a way within CONFIG itself to provide the URL to a host list, and choose one from there. (How deep would that rabbit hole go, though?!)
