I have a similar idea of a minimal html browser, which was dismissed by the gemini authors. Should be reasonably doable if you don't implement all web 2.0.

Isn't it called `netsurf` already?

I would not want a simple browser to replace gemini, but I would be happy to use a simple web browser in addition to gemini. It would be nice to only have to fire up a big bloated real browser for doing banking and such things.

Yes, in addition, maybe even 2in1. As a quick hack gemini can be converted to html on the fly.
