This is a bit of a weird idea but is it possible to implement something like

as an app for this?

I recently started considering to build a simple web browser, but concluded it was too much work and the result would be disappointing regardless.

While the example does work, it's super limited:

  • You have to register an API key: Every user of the firmware would have to create their own API key as these keys aren't intended to be shared. It's quite a hassle.
  • You can't really do anything with the search results because there isn't a web browser to open them.

I think dedicated apps for certain services might work better, like a WikiPedia or translation app.

Yeah that would be a better idea.
