Description

Chawan is a text-mode web browser and pager for Unix-like systems, with a focus on implementing modern web standards while remaining self-contained, easy to understand and extensible.

It includes functionality like CSS, inline images inside the terminal, and JavaScript through a small, independent browser engine.

Most of Chawan has been developed from scratch in the memory-safe Nim programming language.
