有很多前期的研究成果(这里有个不错的概述:https://sr.ht/~bptato/chawan/#neighbors),但我正在做一些不同的事情,希望它能存在。 我对反响很感兴趣。可能距离发布还有几周,但这里有个简短的截图:https://youtu.be/_Bs7BoQBoBA(如果你更喜欢 asciinema 的话: https://asciinema.org/a/9w6CMnaI9VxiykI1PgVWm4lsi)。 有什么想法? 这个项目的背景是,它是为受限环境设计的(超薄客户端,程序可以远程运行或在同一台机器上运行;安全限制?带宽限制?资源限制?内容限制?)。 就我个人而言,这个项目对我来说意义重大,因为我与计算机的第一次互动,甚至是与互联网的第一次接触,都是在拨号上网和 BBS 系统的文本环境中度过的。但在现代社会,我常常感到想要远离那些喧嚣的色彩和图像,它们在争夺我的注意力。我只想要一个安静且有效的网络。但我不喜欢扩展程序知道一切,而内容脚本又很脆弱。对我来说,终端的媒介实际上传达了不同的信息和独特的体验,我觉得这很有价值。我认为互联网也希望以这种方式展现自己。 所以我会继续构建这个项目,无论这里的反响如何。我还认为,也许我可以做一些时尚的东西,因为 OCR 仍然是一个重大问题,如果 AI 能以文本为基础来驱动网络内容,也许它们会喜欢这样。不过这并不是我的主要目标,但我需要考虑资金问题。 我还有一些其他有趣的想法,这些想法真正向过去致敬;一个更文明的时代。

There’s much prior art (good overview here: https:&#x2F;&#x2F;sr.ht&#x2F;~bptato&#x2F;chawan&#x2F;#neighbors), but I’m doing something different that wants to exist.<p>Curious as to response. Probably a few weeks off release yet but here’s a brief screencap: https:&#x2F;&#x2F;youtu.be&#x2F;_Bs7BoQBoBA (Or if you prefer an asciinema: https:&#x2F;&#x2F;asciinema.org&#x2F;a&#x2F;9w6CMnaI9VxiykI1PgVWm4lsi )<p>Thoughts?<p>The context is it’s meant for constrained environments (ultra thin client, engine runs remotely or on same machine if you like; security constraints? Bandwidth constraints? Resource constraints? Content constraints?).<p>Personally, this is a project close to my heart because my first interactions with computers, and even the Internet was textbased back in the days of dialup and BBS systems. But for another reason in the modern era, I often have the feeling I just wanna get away from all the bullshit all the colors and images begging for my attention. I just want a quiet web that works. But I don’t like an extension knowing everything, and content scripts are fragile. For me, the medium of the terminal is actually a different message and distinct experience that I find valuable. And I think the Internet wants to see itself that way too.<p>So I’m building this whatever the response here. I also think maybe I can make a trendy thing as OCR is still a major problem and if AI’s can have a text based way to drive web content, maybe they’d like that. Not my main bag though, but I need to consider cash.<p>I have some other fun ideas for this too, that’s a real nod to the past; a more civilized age.
