so VS w3m

Cool app! Are you planning a CLI? I particularly like so (https://github.com/samtay/so)

Reddit, SO, etc.. are going to need external programs like nntpit for reddit + slrn, or samtay/so for stack overflow, youtube-dl for youtube, etc..

If so, why not just use existing applications like tuir or so?

That's so, for searching stack overflow interactively from the command line.

If you're still not sure, try searching on stack overflow: https://github.com/samtay/so

Not for Google, but of you search stackoverflow/stackexchange often might like https://github.com/samtay/so

Get the w3m sources: git clone https://github.com/tats/w3m

nvi2 [0]: I got to like the simplicity of nvi when installing Void Linux on my laptop, but it had some annoying bugs that made me switch to nvi2. In general, it feels like `good' software; powerful enough by virtue of being a 1:1 vi clone with a few crucial improvements (multibyte, multi-undo, etc.), but simple enough to hack on if I miss some feature. Though no autocomplete means it's not suitable for more verbose languages, like Java.

QuickJS [1]: qjscalc is my go-to scientific calculator, and qjs my go-to JavaScript implementation for simple programs. The C interface is very nice to use, too. All in all, it feels very much like a "complete" engine, even if not quite as fast as one with JIT.

w3m [2]: Somewhat lacking as a web browser, but a very good pager. Would take it over less any day. Also has the best table display of any text-mode browser, supports inline images, and is rather extensible.

Wine [3]: It's gotten so good that I no longer have to dual boot Windows. Still not perfect, but definitely on my list of "good software".

I liked w3m a lot back when I had a job were rando browsing was discouraged. https://github.com/tats/w3m

> I've been noodling about the implementation of adding functionality to w3m and lynx so there is a separate fetch-page func but report a different User-Agent header (eg, "Mozilla"). I've encountered many pages that don't allow access until I change the "lynx-*" header (bastards).

Wouldn't this feature suffice? https://github.com/tats/w3m/blob/master/doc/README.siteconf

The first result, ffs: https://github.com/tats/w3m

But the problem is that a lot of the code isn't commented to explain what they're doing and there isn't a lot of documentation online to use the software effectively. (In order to not make my question vague, I'm trying to build a front end Gtk GUI to w3m. But I don't need explanation to the code or steps to do this. even though I didn't understand it and I don't know the steps I need. What I'm looking for is a method to effectively study the code of an open source project that didn't take into consideration that you'll study it, therefor they didn't document well the structure of their codebase and how the project was build and the different parts of making it).
