## Introduction

Krn is a newsreader, oriented to support both online and offline methods of access. It also aims at being very GUI oriented, while also maintaining easy access to all its features through your keyboard. Obviously, it still isn't all that, so you may want to send me your feature suggestions.

For more information, you can look at Krn's home page.
