@neil
links2 can even render graphics in the linux framebuffer
i try to make sure my website looks reasonably good in text browsers
@neil links! I remember using elinks (at the time the better and more advanced fork) for the first time many years ago after my Athlon 😜 finished compiling the base Gentoo system and before starting to compile X and a desktop environment... sigh, when exactly did I become so old
@neil wait… it should be pretty easy to hook up links with some LLM’s API… 😈
@neil When I was a database developer (as well as geologist) for the Hunterian Museum, I worked with a wonderful programmer in 2003 and 2006 to create online web search pages for the collections. We took accessibility really seriously, and tested all our search and results pages on lots of browsers. She insisted we also test using text-mode browsers, and text-to-speech browsers too, which I hadn't heard of at the time. Really pleased with how that went! 😊
@neil What about elinks?
@neil I use lynx a lot, but was unaware of links. Indeed, I was going to "point out your typo", but then actually checked.
I'll have a play ... thanks.
@neil My go-to is w3m. Any strong reason for links over it, or is that just where you ended up? (I can't remember why I ended up with w3m, other than better layout than lynx.)
@neil I remember lynx before there was links, but I think links handles modern websites a lot more competently.
