Is there one? If not, is it ok to write one? I would like to do it as a toy project.

You mean something like an extension for browsing? Or a dedicated desktop browsing app? Or something else?

hey OP, I was thinking of doing a terminal BBS for /prague/. is this what you're trying to do? it seems that the HTML here is fairly easy to parse so just go with that

Yeah I meant like an HTTP REST API, scraping the HTML, poasting with

curl

, &c. I made one for w4c to facilitate one of the spams, it was a good learning experience for a basement-dwelling haskeller like yours truly AD 2011.

so do the same thing here, it should be easy even without the API. I'd go for a full text-based poasting interface though. anyone know a good TUI library? because it seems that there's still nothing even comparable to old TurboVision

TUI library

(n)curses
