IMHO a text-based browser isn't exactly in the "challenging" category, as it basically amounts to stripping all the HTML tags out and doing some very simple transformations (like replacing <br>'s with newlines.) Then again, one of the things I've been working on intermittently for the past few years is a graphical (CSS2+) browser, which is definitely in the challenging category. There are some other public efforts too: https://github.com/lexborisov/Modest https://github.com/litehtml https://github.com/ArthurHub/HTML-Renderer Along the same lines, some other challenging projects I recommend are to write decoders/renderers for existing formats like MP3, MP4, PDF, etc.

Hey, I didn't see a contact email on your profile but here are a couple projects that could use some help: https://github.com/ArthurHub/HTML-Renderer (looking for contributors actually) https://github.com/bricelam/ImageResizer https://github.com/Tyrrrz/LightBulb https://github.com/Mikescher/AlephNote There are also frameworks/toolkits like ReactiveUI, MahApps, etc. that could also use some help, if you want to contribute there.
