Nyxt: The Internet on your terms
summary
Nyxt is a Common Lisp browser that exposes a live REPL and full object inspector so users modify UI, buffers, bookmarks and DOM at runtime. It demos a fuzzy command prompt/power bar that runs actions on results, tree-structured history that preserves branches, searchable link-hints and heading navigation, bookmarks stored as one-line editable files with extracted keywords, and per-tab proxy and keybinding modes (CUA, Emacs, vi). WebExtension support is partially implemented but not finished; live Lisp introspection and Swank remote editing work as shown.
