Pancake – a CLI/Emacs web/gopher/file browser

In plain words

Pancake is a command-line and Emacs-based browser for accessing web, gopher, and local file content. Launched in 2017, it integrates browsing functionality directly into terminal and Emacs environments, making it suitable for developers and users who prefer text-based interfaces. The tool stands out by consolidating multiple content types—web pages, gopher sites, and files—into a single unified browsing experience within existing command-line and editor workflows.
