Browsh Reviews and details

Social recommendations and mentions

• This doesn’t sound right. Thoughts?

  Well I do also regularly make use of brow.sh expecially when I hit the slow hours of the internet. I just login to my old ssh sdf.org shell account and away I go. Source: over 1 year ago

• Ask HN: Who wants to be hired? (November 2022)

  15 years experience. You may have seen my text-based modern browser, https://brow.sh, here on the front page a few times. - Source: Hacker News / over 1 year ago

• [plugin] browse internet from neovim

  That looks really useful! It would be even nicer to see something like this, but integrated with brow.sh for those who prefer to stay on the terminal. Source: about 2 years ago

• Ask HN: Who wants to be hired? (February 2022)

  I made https://brow.sh, a text-based web browser that's been on HN a few times. Making connections with like-minded people is just as important as the money. Looking more for short-term or part-time. - Source: Hacker News / about 2 years ago

• Ask HN: Freelancer? Seeking freelancer? (January 2022)

  SEEKING WORK, South America (British digital nomad), remote or onsite ok. I made https://brow.sh, a text-based web browser that's been on HN a few times. Making connections with like-minded people is just as important as the money. Looking more for short-term or part-time. https://tombh.co.uk https://github.com/tombh tom@...

• Playing videos in a tty itself as ASCII characters

  --vo=tct is my favorite, but only works on unicode terminals (so everything other than a raw tty or xterm). It draws everything as a true-color unicode half-block character, similar to catimg or [brow.sh](https://brow.sh). Source: over 2 years ago

• Deleting Chrome-What to replace it with?

  I keep a docker-based brow.sh instance running on a VPS for other uses. Source: over 2 years ago

• Hi! I made simple TUI desktop for Linux named TBox

  Yes, running graphical apps in CLI would be cool, but TBox was made in Shell, so it cannot be done. I'd need something like BATBOX.EXE for windows that extends batch functionality. But there's no such thing. Also, you can try brow.sh to browse web in CLI. Source: over 2 years ago

• Run gui app within terminal?

  If you just want the thing to run in text-mode, it will vary by app. Most (such as gimp) don't support it, but some do. Emacs, for example, will default to text-mode if the DISPLAY variable is unset. Mpv media player will display the video as Unicode blocks if given the option --vo=tct. https://brow.sh is essentially a wrapper around Firefox that does a similar thing, convert browser images into terminal output.

• Might Makes Google Chrome Faster

  Browsh (https://brow.sh) is doing this. RDP too. - Source: Hacker News / about 3 years ago

• Better web browser than Lynx?

  Brow.sh is VERY heavy, slow, and the project seems stalled or abandoned. Source: about 3 years ago
