I spent the last year gathering and normalizing as many resources for
Usenet messages and built a search engine over public Usenet
discussions going back to 1981. Posting here because this seemed like
the one group that would actually care.

Since Google Groups stopped indexing new Usenet content a
while back, and search over its historical archive has always been
rough- I wanted something that treats this as a real research
archive -- full-text search, date-range/filtering,etc and most
importantly as much Usenet data as possible going back as far as I could find.
The index currently holds (to date) roughly 980 million messages and is
still growing. Sources are archival backups, data donations, and ongoing crawls of several thousand still-active public NNTP servers. Binary and yEnc-encoded content is stripped where possible to keep the index
focused on text.
The index was built using Apache Solr 10, MariaDB 12 (rocksdb), Ubuntu 22.04.5 LTS & custom Python scripts, all on nvme disk.
This is public archival content, same legal basis as DejaNews and
Google Groups before it. There's a removal process for anyone who
wants their own posts taken down, and author contact info is masked
by default.

Can you consider setting a width and/or height for SVG icons for better compatibility? Or perhaps not use SVG icons at all?
I can get a paginated list of newsgroups, but they're not linkified, how
is this supposed to be used?

I fixed the SVG size issue (I think!) and also newsgroups are now clickable but it shows ALL messages inthat group sorted by oldest first. Let me know if you had something else in mind, thanks for the feedback.
