Browsh – A fully-modern text-based browser, rendering to TTY and browsers
Author here. I haven't done much with the code in about 3 years. But I still have lots of plans for it.The big thing is I want to write my own UDP protocol for it. It'll be similar to MoSH's in the sense it's optimised for text, only sends diffs and supports network roaming. But it'll be different in the sense that Browsh is a _document_ viewer first and secondly a live-updating UI. Basically, you shouldn't have to wait for a roundtrip to scroll the contents of the page.Then with this protocol, there can of course be multiple clients. Including JS in normal browsers! (I don't know how well UDP is supported in browsers, so maybe it falls back to TCP). I think I want Browsh to be mainly a text-based browser that actually runs in normal browsers. That might sound counter-intuitive, but recall that the Browsh server runs _remotely_, the actual downloading and native rendering of a webpage is done by Firefox/Chromium in a healthy datacentre in some big city.Hopefully I can find a way to fund a nice big farm of Browsh servers to provide a free tier. With that and the JS client, you won't even need to download an app to use Browsh, just a few Kbs of JS in any normal browser.
