Browser TUI ("Gopher")

[vorburger]

HTTP Server (basis for future #76 Web UI) serving MD instead of HTML to https://github.com/charmbracelet/glow!

E.g. glow https://raw.githubusercontent.com/enola-dev/enola/main/README.md (but dynamic, for all Entity).

Should eventually also be integrated (❓) with #100 Shell.

Actually, on very briefly testing glow just to get a feeling for how feasible this could be, I found that it does not (yet) support "browsing" (navigating) - only "paging". (It also does not support external hyperlinks and it's a ugly how it renders link path inline.)

There are other "Markdown CLI TUI Browsers", of course; from quick research, I've found (probably not exhaustive):

• https://github.com/swsnr/mdcat
• https://www.npmjs.com/package/msee
• https://github.com/axiros/terminal_markdown_viewer#alternatives
• https://textual.textualize.io/widgets/markdown/

The same idea could also be explored with something non-Markdown:

• HTML and good ol' lynx, or https://www.brow.sh (see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Text-based_web_browser)
• https://gemini.circumlunar.space (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gemini_(protocol))
• https://linux.die.net/man/1/info ;-)

mdcat also does not (yet) have a "browse" mode either.

Next step would be to try out one of those Node.JS-based thingies (msee? terminal_markdown_viewer#alternatives ?).

The Gemini stuff also looks "fun", e.g. with amfora.

But HTML for Lynx likely best next.
