@nixCraft +9001%

I want my stuff to be clean, sober and efficient.

In fact, I want all sites to be functionally and user-experience - identical on both #Lynx and other #TUI #Browsers and regular ones like #Firefox...

When you ask frontend devs to write the backend, you get %^&*ing Node.js!

@nixCraft Why the overhead of a browser? Just use `curl https://wttr.in`

@ndonegan @nixCraft Sounds too bloated.

Try:
`$> lynx finger://[email protected]`

Probably doesn't have any accessibility issues either. Unironically better than many "modern" UIs

Now I need to Google if something like this already exists..

@nixCraft Close to perfect I‘d say — let‘s ask them to provide such a frontend for every application!!
Works great in textmode browsers. Disabled people have no problem using it with their screen readers. Bandwidth saving. Etc.

Why can‘t all devs deliver such great simplistic UI?

@nixCraft

TBH, that looks very similar to the testing interface I slapped on the DFA compiler at work to show off the new things I'd added to the json-based API.

The UI on breakmessage.com stretched my UI skills to their absolute limits.
