The link is payload, maybe you could link to a concrete image or some free search engine?

I have an almost identical RSS experience using emacs+elfeed+firefox but with the added bonus of being able to filter out articles (eg sport) that I'm not interested in. Plus I can read many other feeds beyond BBC.

I always like seeing new TUI tools, nice work!

Me too! I found a few nice ones in the App Showcase page in the Ratatui website: https://ratatui.rs/showcase/apps/

Three reasons for TUIs:
Speed of rendering
Consistency / limited styles
Keyboard controls
It is possible to achieve this other ways. But what’s interesting that for example Visual Basic or Borland C use a windowing concept

Very cool.
Would be interesting to hear why this over a general purpose text-based browser like Lynx.

If you actually try access bbc.co.uk using Lynx, you'll see it's just not a great experience. Most modern websites are not made with text-based browsers in mind at all, and the HTML (and other stuff) they are made of does not lend itself to easy or intuitive display in the terminal.
This seems more akin to an RSS reader than a general web browser.

https://boingboing.net/2005/10/06/guy-who-was-busted-f.html/... was the best link I could find for that story

My own government luckily even offers to reach out in your stead if a company doesn't respond to your disclosure, so pen testing random websites seems implicitly allowed, but such a vertict is still scary to read for such an innocuous probe.

This is the kind of tool that actually gets used daily, well done!
