	tl;dr: WallHop is a replacement for the defunct 12ft.io paywall bypass tool. Users can skip paywalls by prefixing URLs with a slash, using an iPhone Shortcut, a bookmarklet, or raw/API endpoints. The creator recommends subscribing to news sites you read regularly, pitching WallHop as a tool for one-off articles.
	HN Discussion: ↑Enthusiastic endorsement of the tool as convenient and worth bookmarking •Curiosity about why archive.is remains the most reliable fallback method ↓Reports that the tool fails on certain sites like Reuters and The Hindu ↓Questions about the legality and ethics, suggesting better journalism funding models ~Debate over whether the project should be open source given its GPL-3 origins
