So I thought I'd see if I can document/report the misbehaviours that I
see when browsing Fossil repositories in EWW, and some other text-only
web browser that I do not use at all just to have some comparison.

1) /timeline and links -- this is probably the biggest annoyance

  In the timeline, none of the links work (I think this is in general
  for any page); each gets redirected to /honeypot; this only happens
  when not being logged in it seems.

  I think this is the biggest annoyance for me; the editing
  functionality I think isn't as important in a text-only situation
  since much of that can be used via the CLI -- and I would think that
  those that use the UI from a text browser do so for the visual
  aspects and not the editing ones.  

  E.g, I like to be able to see the timeline in one buffer, or
  browsing through the history in EWW when working with my projects;
  but I would edit the pages or change settings via the CLI.
  
2) The menu is always truncated, this is what I get:

     ☰Home Timeline Branches Tags Tickets Wiki 

   But I would have expected,
   
     ☰Home Timeline Files Branches Tags Tickets Wiki

   Since there is there is no way to know the size of the screen, the
   menu should never be truncated (IMHO).

3) lynx and fossil are entirely unusable

   This is either Lynx fault or my terminal, I cannot navigate any of
   the links.

4) links and fossil exhibit the same problems as with EWW.
