View your website in Lynx, without Lynx
October 30, 2003
Came across this while reading the little orange book by Jeffrey Zeldman - Lynx Viewer. It’s a pretty neato Perl CGI script. Very useful for checking how your site looks to that minority of people who still use a text browser. Also very interesting to see how many sites break.
See how important it is to separate presentation from structure, and to follow accessibility guidelines? At least, as important as it is for these sites not to lose the proportion of viewers who either use text browsers or are visually-handicapped and use a screen reader.
Anyway, here’s redemption in a blog when viewed in Lynx.

Of course, if you want to be a real geek you can download the real Lynx. Works on Windows, Linux/Un*x, and probably even Mac OSX.
