You can use curl if you don't like browsers. It just needs a lot of imagination to get an idea on how the site is supposed to look like.

- qwerty456127 5y agoWhatever, pmoriarty is right. Today a browser indeed is an operating system with its own GUI toolkit and a decentralized repository of apps (we call the web, most of the sites actually are apps today). Perhaps if the web servers served something like QML/XAML/whatever (while other web servers serving just APIs for them to get/post the content) and there was an operating system command to run such an app by its URL, both the developers and the users might have a better experience. Or perhaps worse. This way we might even have more than one standard competing: QML, XAML and whatever else would emerge (introducing new would be more viable) vs just HTML.
