I would have loved to see some kind of merge of , and . At least a version of Lem running in Nyxt, making the power of both available to build upon. I have pretty much top to bottom now (including and ), but it's still pretty disconnected. I can control things from emacs though, so that's the middle ground, but I would have loved there too.
