Elinks 0.16.1 has been fantastic. (i started with the original 0.13 release from years ago)
I played around with the GEOFF Terminal as i can display bitmaps on that as well. the problem is the GEOFF terminal is barely able
to handle VT100 escape codes and thus makes it impossible to use with anything but LYNX and even then has
major issues.
I hope others try out this method it has been so much fun and opens the door to many more systems.
this can be adapted to many other terminals that can handle pixel control with escape codes.
issue will be content. the more people try this out and get excited about making HTML 1,2.0 websites then it goes back to the old days.
so much modern content is in the form of youtube channels. think about the last time you went to a personal website and not a social media site or a news site.
just the old days of finding a person with a passion for a hobby whom has a website with their interests. for me its been about 20 years.
Telnet BBS is so limited and so many of the sites barely function.
stir the pot, light the burners
