Can you make the start page work with terminal web browsers?

As you can see i dont see any of my zim files to choose from when using a TUI web browser like in a GUI web browsers. https://imgur.com/5hOAVs3.png

It does work if i know what the exact url to the zim files tho, but i usually have to open a GUI web browsers to copy the direct link, then paste in my terminal web browser, which is annoying. https://imgur.com/04mHLEF.png https://i.imgur.com/pNVMnQu.png

Maybe just have a generated list of links to zim files for low level web browsers aka mobile html static version

Thanks for the update, not sure how hard it would be to generate basic html for those zim links but maybe one day it will work with all terminal web browsers

@gotbletu Not very hard like written by @gotbletu but not a priority for the moment. Would be super glad if a volunteer would take that one.

@gotbletu This will be in the next release (or if you want it earlier, check tomorrow's nightly release). Works in w3m browser now! :)

i finally tried out the nojs mode, it does work to choose the zim file you want but theres no search box to search thru the wiki you just chosen
