  • [Chawan] The terminal browser you are dreaming of may exist.

    From yeti@yeti@tilde.institute to tilde.meta on Wed Jul 30 07:41:15 2025
    Chawan[C] previously showed some problems on NetBSD[N] and I did not
    rebuild it after each new commit for quite a while, but when I did a few
    days ago, it looked like working.

    Some older Chawan snapshots taken via SSH on OpenBSD:

    <https://yeti.tilde.institute/tmp/chawan/> (or via archive.org)
    <https://yeti.tilde.institute/tmp/chawan/20250125-002559__chawan__google_images_search.png>
    <https://yeti.tilde.institute/tmp/chawan/20250310-083030__chawan__mathsvg.png>

    Sixel support in Mosh[M] is unlikely to surface, Sixels in Screen[S]
    aren't quite there yet and I've no idea about Sixels ans Tmux. So I
    only can use it over plain SSH in XTerm currently.

    ____________

    [C]: Chawan is a TUI web (and (S)FTP, Gopher, Gemini, ...) browser with
    CSS, inline image and JavaScript support.

    You may need to build Nim-2 first.

    [M]: SIXEL graphics support #1081
    <https://github.com/mobile-shell/mosh/issues/1081>

    [S]: `img2sixel -P` can show images in Screen, I've no idea about other
    programs adopting that "trick".
