4chan CLI reader

no one needs a command line anything

>>55986879
I really need.

>>55986875
lynx

>>55986918
i-i really need you too, anon.

>>55986918
I want you to want me

links, elinks, lynx, etc

>>55986934
>>55986979
This isn't just too ugly or difficult to move on long threads?

elinks or w3m would be best

>>55986998
its a cli, of course it is going to be difficult.

>>55987022
I'm looking for something like this: https://github.com/michael-lazar/rtv
Easy to move in threads/comments/whatever.
But for 4chan, not for fucking reddit shit.

This is an imageboard. We use it to post images.

>>55987071
How do you imagine to solve the captchas

>>55987096
Every image has a link.

>>55986875
> wants to browse an imageboard in a text terminal

>>55987110
jew pass ofc

>>55986934
no js

>>55989750
Why would you need js in the first place? Everything can be written in bash anyway.

>>55986918
i-if you want you can use my bucci, anon

>>55987071
You should just go with Usenet instead desu.
Or maybe something like nntpchan.
Because those at least separate the data from presentation, which is the only sane way to handle this. Having to scrape website and decompose the data yourself is n't worth the trouble.
Even telnet BBS would be better off, since you could typically use QWK program there to download messages for offline reading.

>>55986979
Links doesn't show catalog properly.

>>55991165
Nothing without javascript will, which is every way to browse from the terminal.

That's it. The birth of a new idea for a new program by /g/.

First we need a logo.

if you just need it to be keyboard driven/low resource usage, you can use qutebrowser.
That is, as long as you use the old captcha and don't mind not being able to make threads. And the odd Qt lib crash from unmaintained code.

oh man, if the entire program doesn't exclusively use unix coreutils, it couldn't be a /g/ project.
I wonder if there's a GNU XML parser.

>>55986875
w3m with image support actually does pretty well on 4chan.

You can do it in like 15 minutes with python and requests

>>55991975
Have I worshipped the wrong god ?

>>55992048
from what I've seen ruby's about the same

>>55991753
Kek.
I would totally use a cli or tui 4chan browser, but getting images to work with an external program reliably and get captcha to work could be hard.

>>55990295
>what is 4chan api

How about you just use the internet like normal fucking person instead of trying to look like a 1337h4x0r?

>>55993007
this
i cant wait to hear whatever bullshit reason you all come up with to try and justify using a cli interface for a fucking imageboard

>>55993007
Jesus.

No I am with Core/GNU guy. It needs to happen.
