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?
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.
I think the picophone may use its own chat system!
