But... You can use $> lynx -vikeys from a terminal emulator inside the vim itself!
That way you dont even have to invent anything or leave vim!

You don't even need to drop down to a terminal -- there's https://github.com/dansomething/vim-hackernews (although it hasn't been updated since 2018) that interfaces with the API directly.
Interesting. Are you running lynx inside a vim terminal buffer?
Yeah, the most interesting part is that lynx is in a vim terminal buffer, and then the same vim is opened from lynx inside the almighty vim terminal buffer to edit this post textarea ;)
Interestingly enough, I'm reading this and posting in lynx. I have both vikeys and numbered links set...
w3m which I am using also seems able to browse HN; however, usually people want seamless navigation between HN and various links, so a graphical browser is a must. Qutebrowser is a good choice for those who enjoy keyboard navigation.
I would say not graphical but a javascript browser is a must if you want _various_ links, I know one for the terminal capable of this called browsh
