Right now it is a terminal application, so it's not designed for either =) I'm planning to fit it really tightly to the maemo platform, as that is it's main intended use. But hopefully I can program it in such a modular way that people can use it on their desktops too.

Right now the main problem is displaying HTML in a hildon gui programmed with Python. There's libgtkhtml, but no python bindings. And I'm not going to redo this in C. In the terminal, I just format the html through links(1).

And fetching the www-pages for offline reading is an interesting idea as well. But it doesn't work really well for, say, Slashdot, where the real content isn't pointed to via the feed.

When it's ready, it can be found at http://paul.totterman.name/maemo.html
