semi-serious web proposal: any essential web service must support the Lynx web browser with equivalent functionality

edit: for those who don't know, Lynx is a text-only web browser with no Javascript support

the logic is extremely simple: if your shit supports Lynx, then it is almost certain that any user with any browser capable of browsing the world wide web with HTTPS is capable of using your site

they can pay their taxes, order groceries, check their library holds, look up legal information, all of it

addendum: you must also be able to choose the Lynx version of the site while using non-Lynx browsers

@dmerej no wonder we liked the "classic HTML" mode so much!

@Packbat@indiepocalypse.social before reading the edit i thought the Atari Lynx had a web browser addon

@instereo256 we actually still don't know what an Atari Lynx is - I think we had it mixed up in our head with the Jaguar

@Packbat Lynx users should be treated to an alternative version of the page with great ASCII art, optional ads and bbc style navigation.

@Packbat I agree and have always tried to design with this in mind. once you get into the habit of writing accessible HTML it's not really that much extra work anyway.
