That would probably be pretty easy to cobble together. WebTV did something similar, back in the day, preprocessing web pages on their server then sending scaled down (fast loading) images and such. Rendering the whole page just takes it a step further, though I suppose it would have to simulate a skinny browser display to make fonts readable.

Interesting idea. In coming months, I may get my CoCo stuff where I can set it up again, along with my Arduino and the like.

I bet ChatGPT could write most of this for us!
