Text appeal: Ceefax recreated by 20-year-old Northern Irish man

Nathan Dane spent six years honing his version of the BBC's defunct text-based information service

If you find news websites too overwhelming, too fast and too full of distractions then this might be the solution: a recreation of the BBC's Ceefax service featuring up-to-date headlines, an accurate weather map and the latest stock market prices.

Nathan Dane, 20, has spent the last six years building a simulation of the BBC's defunct text-based information service. It takes in data from the BBC's existing website and repurposes it in the distinctively blocky font that was ubiquitous on television sets during the 1980s and 1990s.
