Panel 1
Waiter: "Sir, I’d like to ask you to take off your cap in this restaurant."
Smurf: "Take off my cap? You’re not asking me to take off my pants, are you?!"
Panel 2
Waiter: "That’s not the same."
Smurf: "That is the same."
Panel 3
Cook (to waiter): "Let him put his cap back on."
Waiter: "That’s maybe better."
No, the quotes are not seen by the program. The program receives a list of strings, it does not get the information about whether and how those strings were originally quoted in the shell. Programs can also be directly called with lists of strings as in execve, so often it does not even make sense to ask if the arguments were quoted or not.

With quotes the program will receive a single argument -n␣o␣p␣e instead of multiple ones -n, o, p, e. At least it works on the machine here:
]$ echo "-n o p e"
-n o p e
]$ /bin/echo "-n o p e"
-n o p e
Yes, I think there was some misremembering here. The nontrivial thing is to print out -n itself with echo. For example, echo doesn't treat "--" specially, so "echo -- -n" prints "-- -n".
Note that this is true for POSIX sytems but not e.g. for Windows. There the program receives the command-line as-is and is responsible for parsing it into an array. There are two different standard functions to do this parsing for you (with slightly different quoting behavior) but you could also create your own that requires options to not be quoted.
the author describes how their render-once approach lets them implement CSS in a simpler way since they don't need to retain information for arbitrary dynamic changes in the stylesheets and content
I guess this implies that rescaling the window, or rotating your phone, will not update the view. Then you'd have to reload the page. That trade-off seems okay to me.
Yeah, the layout would still resize but it could be non-ideal in some cases as it would be based on media queries for another width.
For the rotation I could process a second layout on the background and switch to it instantly if rotated. Similarly hover effects will be limited. Things affecting visibility of the blocks/layers should work (for menus), small adjustments of layouted text too, but anything that is more complicated won't be. It currently uses a hardcoded hover effect for links.
This is a timely coincidence for me. I started using yesterday Shortcat [1] for the Mac, and I'm very pleased. It gives you access to pretty much everything with the keyboard, not just the browser. To be fair, Nyxt provides other features such as scripting.
I really wish it was open-source. I loved the concept and the app worked in most applications (though not the best with Slack). But I have reservations when it comes to granting full screen access to an app made by some unknown developer.
I feel the same, so I simply block its network access (via LuLu), and it works just fine that way. I wish it was open source so I could hack on it and so development could continue - it's a really cool idea and works pretty well.
This looks amazing, congratulations! I can see that it seems to run offline (curl says "# requires networking"), but if I launch it on airplane mode on an iPhone it halts. Is this the expected behavior? Also, is it possible to install packages? These two things could address some of the shortcomings of iSH. Thanks!!
