My current approach to "responsiveness" is to increase the font sizes on screens. User interfaces should generally have smaller text while article bodies should prioritize readability and be larger. Default stylesheets are take a (literal) one-size-fits-all approach, trying to optimize for both. But I only use percentages for font sizes, to respect user preferences.
I also increase the default font size to make it easier to increase tap target sizes to Google's recommended 48x48&nbsp;px sizes, without overlapping other targets in a 56x56&nbsp;px radius. A size of 108.75% was the minimum necessary to achieve my goals in all combinations of major browsers and their default stylesheets across operating systems. Since scrollbars and screen edges are often tap targets, I also set minimum margin sizes.
I reduce the font size to the default 100% and eliminate the extra margins on extremely narrow screens (think KaiOS devices and smartwatches) where the screen is too small to fit several touch-friendly elements. I do the same on print.
My rationale:
- If you use a smart feature phone, then you navigate with a keypad. The interface does not need to be touch-friendly.
- If you use a smartwatch (like the Apple Watch) it should auto enable reading mode for long-form text, so compromising a _little_ on readability might be worth improving navigation.
- If you want to read in a sidebar then you are likely reading the article alongside some other text. My page's text should match most other content instead of "sticking out".
- If you print it out then font sizes are already optimized for readability rather than for user interfaces.

ncurses is fine for certain specific purposes, like querying terminal characteristics.
I think if you're building a <abbr title="textual user interface">TUI</abbr> it should generally be one of multiple options that share a library/backend or it should be something with many alternatives that are at least equivalent, given the poor accessibility of TUIs in general. If one of those things is true, then it should be fine to use ncurses for the TUI.
There's a [Python library called "Textualize"](https://www.textualize.io/) for building TUIs and CLI shells. They're working on a web target which [they claim can get much better accessibility.](https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=31151158)

`xml:space` would make whitespace issues easier to handle and simplify [my current solution](https://git.sr.ht/~seirdy/seirdy.one/tree/master/item/scripts/xhtmlize-single-file.sh), but not everything supports XML namespaces; I want to keep this polygot HTML5 and XHTML5 markup for now.
Eventually Ill offer certain enhancements to the XHTML version (add `index.xhtml` to the URLs or remove `text/html` form your `Accept` header but include `application/xhtml+xml`) and Ive already made my Atom feeds a bit simpler, but theres a lot to do before then.
Ive added ActivityStreams, OStatus, and friends to my Atom feeds; maybe I could add them to my XHTML pages using namespaces, if RDFa doesnt work out. First I wanna try my hand at writing an ontology for webrings so people can mark up their webrings with RDFa/microdata. Thatll make it easy to do things like check for broken webrings or build cool visualizations of overlapping rings.
I should also try my hand at XSLT for the Atom feeds to get a baseline browser preview.

Readability is the only article distillation algorithm I try to actively support.
