edbrowse is awesome. I fear that most people, like OP in this case, don’t really understand the difference between "TUI" (where a terminal is used to display a GUI) and "CLI", where every interaction is a written command resulting in a output.

I’ve a perfect sight myself but I really like the comfort of linearity with CLI: I ask my computer something, I receive an answer.

(that’s probably why I’m developping my own CLI browser but is more graphical and less advanced than edbrowse)

I'm not sure how you could infer that, since OP didn't mention "TUI" or "GUI" or "CLI" anywhere in this post, and a text-based browser UI could come in either form.

So based on the first paragraph, I would’ve assumed “CLI” and “graphical” were mutually exclusive? Did you in fact mean to type “TUI” here? Or is your program something like a hybrid between command-based input and graphical output?

No, Offpunk it's command line driven, it just happens it can output images due to sixel support (and maybe in a near future with the w3m's image displaying tool).

We use Chafa but I’m curious. Are you planing to contribute something related to w3m?

You could also take a look at chafa[0] for supporting terminals without sixel.

Offpunk uses Chafa.

Chafa will build with sixel. I've gotten best results with chafa using sixel, better than kitty
