@trashHeap@cstanhope I thought to myself today: I could just buy a cheap Pinebook, and use it as a dedicated ssh device, and run all my software on one or two servers at home.
@brennen When one reads the #lynx manual, they get a sense of the web we missed, and it was cool as fuck.
#interi is an ongoing project, but I intend to include the meta tags that lynx reads, as well as modern equivalents. I like the #pubnix concept, here's my site, corresponding anon FTP, etc. So "progressive web" to me means starting there, and building up. Hence, lynx is my bar. ^_^
@satchmoz@cstanhope It is so funny, I've been hesitant to suggest #lynx. We are on SDF, I figure lynx is as "mainstream" as IE or Chrome would be elsewhere.
It is in my toolbox as a webcrafter; pages I build have to be lynx-compatible.
But I've started using it habitually after reading phlogs, and it of course works on all my sites, so... ^_^
@tomasino I've been using #Orfox, and with the configured settings, I essentially get what you are looking for. No javascript, no images (unless I ask for them), and you can even override the style to get it how you want.
Doesn't work on some pages, but you know that as a #lynx user already. ^_^
Bonus points, it always loads via #Tor (#Orbot), so I get a decent minimal experience, with the nice webby parts.
I am constantly surprised by #Discourse, and today it is because I can use https://talkgroup.xyz with #lynx, and I don't feel it is completely degraded. Here is a case of progressive JavaScript that doesn't take over the software.
@Aerdan@Irick@awilfox Authentic question: do we need alternate browsers to catch market share?
I play the scenario in my head over and over. Maybe we can build very cool alternative browsers, and the web will work the way we use it. Meaning, the sites you visit and read will work, and the ones that don't, fuck them, they signed up for Web 3.bananapants, and we don't have to accept their trade-offs. Ya know?
I've been rocking #lynx a lot lately, and it is pretty fun!
