Hi all,
[ I keep posting here, as this seems of interest only to BRLTTY users. ]
Firelynx v0.2.0 is out. This release is about the dynamic,
JavaScript-heavy pages that used to be dead ends in a text browser:
- JavaScript dialogs and on-page buttons now become plain links and
forms you can activate.
- Infinite-scroll feeds are collected into a normal page with a "Load
more posts" link.
- Logins and form submission are more reliable.
Facebook now works to a moderate degree: login and basic navigation are
usable and you get some content. Its heavily obfuscated news feed is
still mostly out of reach (a wall a screen reader hits too), so do not
expect the full feed yet. Far better results on other sites are likely
too with this version.
Still alpha, still Linux only, and plain lynx is still better for
everyday browsing. To update an existing clone:
cd firelynx && git pull && ./install.sh
