Hello Ken. I have been thinking about this very idea for a long time.
In fact, it
occurred to me that it might be possible to bolt lynx onto the front of a
graphical back end
browser. Basically, a proxy that lynx talks to over a local network link
which is actually a
straight html rendering engine for the backend graphical browser. I think T.V.
Ramen of Google
does this for himself inside Google. I started this work some years ago, but
was discouraged
from continuing before I got very far with the observation that it would be too
hard to
maintain a separate browser from the mainstream. Having said that, I think the
idea is still
very relevant since, as it's turned out, screen readers have pretty much had to
implement a
separate user interface for the browsers they support. When I say separate,
I'm talking
relative to the visual interface most sighted users use when operating a
browser. the way I
use a browser versus the way my sighted partner uses a browser is so different
we might as well
be using different programs even though we're both using Chrome.
Is this a project you think could get funded? I'd love to work on it
and make it a
reality.
-thanks
-Brian
