Just that, was just thinking how nice a web browser using the distinct characteristics of picotron would look. Was wondering if anyone was working on one, and if so, how are they getting on?

there are at least three main online projects: piconet, picotron wiki and a chat system! the first two have threads in this forum

I tried to create an html parser.
I use the replace function I created and stop after extracting the contents of the body.
Due to many challenges, I am prioritizing my other projects.

assignment:

• Store html as dom object.
• How to display the text.
• The image cannot be displayed, but instead a dummy image is displayed.
• How much of the css should be reflected?
• Anchor implementation.
• Japanese language.

Modern sites are complex.
I feel like I want to go back to the days of simple HTML sites.
It might be good to have something like a dedicated HTML standard that only picotron can display.
If the server side can recognize that the client is picotron, there may be a way to output html for picotron.

@shiftalow I feel like a lot of old linux sites would work pretty well, and something like hacker news would probably parse quite well. There's probably a plethora of sites you could create some kind of whitelist for and then make them available in a picotron web type application.

Would be cool to even get something like the reader function in firefox to work.

@merwok Thanks for the info, the piconet looks really interesting, so does the wiki! I also saw the chat is integrated in the phone widget that was posted here a while ago?

I think the picophone may use its own chat system!

I was thinking of picochat: https://www.lexaloffle.com/bbs/?tid=141179

I just started a web browser project. Like super early not even ready to post but I am going a slightly different rout. not just a web browser but a new Markup language for the simple interface. My goal over the next few weaks is to make a simple web browser and then build up a suite of applications for internet use similar to AOL in the 1990's

@shiftalow, WRT a simpler HTML standard for Picotron, there's already Gemini (or maybe even Gopher)
