Does anyone know of a way to use an imageboard liek Infinitychan in terminal? I saw someone mention they were working on a tool or tools to do so. I know redditfags have RTV. Why don't we have an equivalent?
I have w3m (pic related) with the images package, so you can kind of browse 8ch, but no poast.

I've been pretty busy lately, but my terminal based board reader is at a pretty good state.
It has enough functionality to participate in a single thread provided you don't want to post images.

Yeah not all of us are very seasoned in the terminal lol. I'm learning, but my context for learning is eliminating the mouse/trackpoint. even if you told me i probably am too new to understand it, especially since i have tried curl yet

Use the developer tools in your GUI browser to see what URL your browser connects to and what data you send to post.
Then you can just make a simple shell script to ask for user input for file to upload, thread, and comment, and send that.

Yeah, okay. I'll start using terminal interface for browsing imageboards if one of them suddenly becomes non-shit.
Pro tip: 8chan is still shit

I often use Lynx and it works except for solving the captcha (page doesn't load properly).
Thought about making my own simpler "sorta HTML" text browser that strips out everything except the most basic of tags, and formats in a sane way for output on 80x25 terminal. No networking though, that's the purpose of wget, curl, and so on. No need to rewrite those.
But maybe it makes more sense to do an nntp interface instead and just use newsreader like slrn. Anyway, text is great.

It looks so good. Can you link what you used in emacs, so maybe I could make my own?

Thanks. I haven't really worked on it in a while. I kind of fell into a slump and lost all motivation to do anything but check my email / rss feed and watch anime. Luckily I'm getting out of this slump so eventually I'll get around to fixing it up to be released once I catch up with my other work.
The board reader isn't implemented in emacs, but rather just uses emacs for making a new reply. It just does it the generic way minus the fact I use a static filename (this would cause problems if two copies of the program were running at the same time).

There are literally not one but two modes in emacs written to browse 4chan. Look it up. They're both on github.

Text browsers can offload image to an external image viewer. You follow an image link, and it spawns child process. This is in my ~/.mailcap and it works fine this way with Lynx:
image/png; feh -FZ %s
image/gif; feh -FZ %s
image/jpeg; feh -FZ %s

I want to try a project like this but I'm really concerned about the UI. Even though TUIs should be simpler, I think an IB browser would actually need some complicated features to actually be useful. Any ideas on how to handle that?

Now that looks pretty slick, I'm guessing you're using ncurses for that?
I was trying to write a board reader with python using ncurses bindings, but I have a lot of trouble figuring out how to draw things together, I imagine having to spawn a new window or panel per thread reply and then I've yet to be able to sanitize the thread's json so it's not full of <p></p> <content=fuckmyass> garbage, nevermind not being able to actually wordwrap the content to fit in a cell. There are times I really wonder if I'm partially retarded.

I've posted this with w3m. Works perfectly fine. Just make sure you hit the Captcha page beforehand and be aware that it fucks up after you posted and sends you to some 404 page, but if you reload the thread, your comment is there.
