I wrote an HTML renderer [0] as part of euporie [1], which I'm planning on eventually spinning into a new terminal browser (but it needs a bit more work first).

There's no JS support, but a good chunk of CSS is implemented, and images are displayed using terminal graphics if your terminal supports it.

You can try it out by passing a URL to `euporie-notebook`.

See also: https://sr.ht/~bptato/chawan/ - a web browser for your terminal

sr.ht is such a pain to browse, why would someone pick this over GitHub.

and it doesnt show the project language(s), the first thing i do when checking a repo on github is to check the languages used, and usually this help me decided whether or not i want to follow this project or not

ocaml, f#, clojure, zig, raku, array language --> insta follow

rust, smalltalk , lisp/scheme --> 50-50

python --> boooo , not gonna follow

Earlier quoted context omitted.

Yes, the page is rendered remotely in Firefox and turned into text transmitted over SSH.

Cute and sexy but I can’t help but wonder whether it misses the point

Are you projecting? The point is to be able to use the modern web in all of its spectacular complexity, from within a text-based terminal. Which goal it actually achieves!
