    I thought it’s about Lynx Browser, a text based browser that lives in terminal

    That name is taken, especially for anything web related.

    The one that recently kept "accidentally" switching pick-up points? I sure hope it was not caused by Lynx, just shitty business requirements.

    We must be really running out of names in the tech space:

      There's also Allegro[1] (the graphics/gaming library). I was confused on why the old-school gaming library was interested in testing the old-school terminal browser

        In Poland Allegro.pl is much more recognizable than the Allegro graphic library. It exists for ~25 years already.

    After more than 6 years of building and running our own Server-Driven UI at Allegro, we decided it was time to ask: what’s next?

    With all the hype around LynxJS last year, we took a closer look to see whether it really lives up to expectations. In this post, we share our experience, lessons learned, and thoughts on using it in a real production environment.

    If you’re interested in mobile architecture, SDUI, React or cross-platform development.

      I'm considering something similar and Lynx did seem interesting. Thanks to your article I think it is indeed a bit too early.

      Another option looks like Tauri v2[0]. It also promises iOS, Android, and Web support (as well as a desktop application). The core is Rust which may or may not have the same adoption issues you saw for C++.

      I haven't given it a try yet though but you may find it interesting.
