in reply to News or announcements widget

The closest thing that comes to my mind is the RSS feed (found via What XML generators are currently available on PerlMonks?), or the raw view of "Newest Nodes".

Replies are listed 'Best First'.

    Most nodes support an xml view with the essential information condensed. (Alas Nodelets don't.)

    E.g. try https://perlmonks.org/?node_id=11163497;displaytype=xml for this post.

    This means importing the data from most nodes and displaying them externally is possible. Even with an XHR aka JSON request with a JS library.

    Tho without caching this might generate too much traffic.
