Do you have any plans for addressing the problem of dynamically chaning
contents, like Single Page Applications (SPAs)?

Some sort of page refresh should be possible using the reload functionality of
the frontend browser, but sending input events to the backend browser is
probably more difficult.

As I explained elsewhere, my experience with combining ELinks with phantomjs
was pretty bad, as it mostly made websites more dysfunctional due to the lack
of dynamic JavaScript execution. Many sites start loading the main page
contents once the initial page has been rendered. Many forms have their fields
changing based on input to other rfields, etc.

I'm not trying to shoot your project down – not at all, I am just worried
because of my prior negative experience with a similar technique.
