Please check out the @dillo browser!

I feel it's the most lightweight and charming browsers I've ever used.

#gemini and #gopher support through plugins!

I think it may have a very powerful and possibly language-agnostic plugin system--maybe fun to develop for.

Ooh! Will it be/has it been borrowing from dillo-plus and DilloNG?

thank you for the kind words :blobcatbolb:

I encourage you to play with the plugins, there are some written in Bash that are less than 100 lines long (other languages are fine too):

That's really interesting! I'll take a look. I want to write a plugin in Haskell, but I'm not sure what it might do. I want to start small and simple.

Is there a list of plugins people want, a poll, or anything like that? Do people maybe want an RSS previewer plugin?

I really admire how unix-like the plugin system works by being language agnostic because I assume it uses standard in/out or something?

maybe you can begin with RSS, which seems a good starting point.

There is no poll, but that one would be useful to have. Specially in Haskell so we have some language diversity.

I will start with an RSS/Feed preview plugin in Haskell, then.

Support for under-appreciated/older XML namespaces for RSS/Atom feeds would be lovely and quite on-brand for the project! Feel free to ping me to try it out, and I’ll see if I can help (though I’m not familiar with Haskell).

See https://polyna.eu/atomextensions.html, and https://seirdy.one/atom.xml for an example feed that uses many of these extensions and more.

Liferea is the feed reader I know of with the most support for RSS/Atom extensions.
