In plain words

Next is a Lisp-based web browser designed for productivity and now available natively on Linux. The browser allows users to write and customize its functionality using Lisp, enabling power users and developers to extend and personalize their browsing experience. It targets users who want programmatic control over their browser and prefer keyboard-driven workflows over traditional graphical interfaces.

    nEXT Browser – A Lisp-based browser2017 · ▲132

    A demonstrator of what is possible with Common Lisp and what kind of new interface a rethink of browsers could provide. https://github.com/nEXT-Browser/nEXT Very Alpha. Missing history, bookmarks, sessions etc. nEXT is not intended to replace your current browser. It is just like adding another tool in your toolbox, you use nEXT when you want to get actual work done.

    Hi HN - we're Nithin and Nikhil, twin brothers and founders of nxtscape.ai (YC S24). We're building Nxtscape ("next-scape") - an open-source, agentic browser for the AI era. -- Why bother building a new browser? For the first time since Netscape was released in 1994, it feels like we can reimagine browsers from scratch for the age of AI agents. The web browser of tomorrow might not look like what we have today. We saw how tools like Cursor gave developers a 10x productivity boost, yet the browser—where everyone else spends their entire workday—hasn't fundamentally changed. And honestly, we…

    Hi HN, I’m a fullstack developer, and honestly, I’ve lost count of how many side projects I’ve worked on over the years. But one idea kept coming back to me: a different kind of email client. It first came to me in 2014: “What if we could handle emails more like conversations?” Every year, I’d revisit this concept in my “Build Notes.” Ten years later, no one had built exactly what I had in mind — so I finally decided to do it myself. That’s how Talanoa was born. I wanted something focused on people, not timelines. I was tired of marking messages as unread just to remember to reply later, or…
