Simple Browser Idea

Post by CPHartman »

I dont have the time anymore to do this kind of work, but someone might want to pick it up. I started to think about the web broswer differently. One idea, use a program on a server to a snapshot of a webpage, then use the psp to query the serer and simply display the jpeg. I just about got that working, its not too difficuly, but you obviously cant navigate well or use any of the buttons/boxes on websites, so i scrapped the idea.
Another thought, use a site like this:
http://transcoder.usablenet.com/tt/index.html
to convert webpages to just text and simple html tags, making them much eaiser to parse instead of writing a full blown browser. I was gonna try that, but i have too much work at the moment. I know its a quick hack, but untill a full english browesr comes out for the 1.5 people, it might a quick fix. Just throwing out an idea. Hope someone who has more time than me will pick it up.

This seems like a very subtle request for a browser. Please refrain from software requests.
