web-browser-lsp

A toy program that implements a text-based web browser as a language server.

Motivation

My favorite progrmming tools are neovim, tmux on a fast terminal emulator and firefox. R.I.P. vimperator. I've tried w3m, lynx, browsh, libsixel, vim-bind webextension, keyboard-driven browser, etc. but I can't find anything that goes beyond vimerator.

Features

There is no implementation

• initialize, shutdown, exit
• web-browser-lsp/tab creates first tab but not connect
• textDocument/formatting shows tab contents in text editor

Wish and Concept

• text-based web browser
• Using a full-featured browser
  • Connecting via Chrome DevTools Protocol
  • It's impossible to develop a full-featured browser by myself
• and you can switch to the GUI
  • Non-textual rich contents may be required
• Human-readable text mode and Raw (html) mode
  • Web developer friendly
  • Nested [onclick] can be clicked precisely
• zoom in/out html tags
  • Focus on the main content of a page with multiple columns

I'm considering about operations required for the browser and corresponding lsp methods.
