I know it'd probably break several sites... but your average news reading would be hugely improved.
I will say that https://forums.whirlpool.net.au/ is one of the best community sites I know of. It's very lightweight, looks good, works incredibly fast. As a dev, I'm really impressed.
No need to go into any of that trouble. Just install ssh on your phone and connect to any box with lynx/elinks/etc.
Works like a charm and is real snappy over any wireless connection.
If you are short of a box to ssh into, sign up for any of the providers of free shell accounts.
There are of course also a lot of native text only browsers like Instabrowser if you prefer an app. Then there are browsers using compression and proxies like Opera Mini.
Which ssh app would you recommend?
Recommendation?
