Pretty fun idea, does anyone know of a good way to make this work on osx?

  It does work on OSX, you just need to install elinks (brew install elinks ?)

  It looks like elinks is available in Homebrew[1], so the only added step is brew install elinks [1]: https://github.com/mxcl/homebrew https://github.com/mxcl/homebrew

    Also MacPorts, so port install elinks

  You need elinks, that's all. So: brew install elinks
