In nEXT Browser: A nEXT Generation Extensible Lisp Browser – AlphaShow HN: NEXT Browser – A Lisp-based power browser
nEXT redefines browsing by being keyboard driven and powered by fuzzy completion. nEXT is designed to get out of your way, and get you going to where you want to go.

Still Alpha. Constantly evolving and improving.
New features added recently!
- Link hint based navigation
- history (sqlite db in home dir)
- bookmarks (sqlite db)
- new minibuffer controls (C-n, C-p) to go up and down candidates.
nEXT is not intended to replace your current browser. It is just like adding another tool in your toolbox, use nEXT when you want to get actual work done.
If you like this project, please leave a star! Thanks for your time.

A demonstrator of what is possible with Common Lisp and what kind of new interface a rethink of browsers could provide.

Very Alpha. Missing history, bookmarks, sessions etc.
