Taking your ideas for my next linux app

I'm bored and want to practice my Rust skills. I am the creator of open-tv. If you have any idea for a linux desktop app, even if it seems quite complex, I will take it.

You mean a web browser in a terminal?

or a TTY. One that doesn't need X or Wayland.

Something like Browsh? It still uses firefox underneath the hood though

I tried that. Websites are completely unreadable in a TTY, because it tries to render an image using ASCII.
And when I run it in Wayland, it's just a lower resolution Firefox frontend.

There used to be lynx. Oh look, it's still being maintained. Not sure how well it works though, might have to try it out:

https://lynx.invisible-island.net/release/

I tried lynx, links, links2, elinks and w3m. None of them let me log into any website.

I also tried browsh and carbonyl which theoretically support everything Firefox and Chromium can do, respectively.
But they don't receive signals from gpm and don't offer keyboard navigation so I can't click on any links in a TTY.
