This web application renders other web pages as text-only, thereby removing images, and advertisements, and significantly reducing the overall size of the downloaded page. It recursively rewrites hyperlinks, such that clicking on links also filters the destination page through the lynx-web-app. This application is useful for small sized, and low-bandwidth browsers on mobile devices.
Lynx is a simple text-only web browser which is useful for command-line-only environments. This project is a PHP script that executes as a web application on a host that has the lynx browser. It takes URLs for input, and executes a shell call to lynx, dumping that nicely formatted output to file. It rewrites the output, creating hyperlinks that will recursively filter linked pages as well. It supports a list of "favorite pages", variable width formatting, and default Wikipedia integration.
