Snowcrab - Intuitive Web Browser for your terminal_size

Yet another overly ambitious Rust project. ;)

What?

A command-driven, intuitive web browser written in Rust designed with ease of use in mind.

Why?

• Command lines are cool.
• Command Palettes (such as those in VS Code or Atom) are SUPER COOL and could benefit a lot of somewhat archaic command line applications (Think tmux, vim)
• Typing is fast, clicking is slow.
• Many command line applications suck at UX. They don't have to.
• Rust is awesome

How?

Leverage several high-quality Rust crates, including, but not limited to:

• termion
• HTTP5ever
• CLAP

When?

This project was launched on March 1, 2017. My goal is to have a beta release before March 1, 2018. No other timeline or roadmap is offered at this time.

Planned Features

• Display clean, uncluttered text web pages while remaining faithful to graphical browser presentation
• Safely maintain cookies and other session data
• Allow form field input
• Command palette exposing every bit of functionality in the application. Just type what you want to do, and go!
• Extensible and customizable with user config files and site-specific format files
• Ease of access for common reference websites (Google, Stackoverflow, Quora, Wikipedia, etc.)
