I'm a member of the Browsh project on github.

https://github.com/browsh-org/browsh/

It's a text-based command line browser that's using Firefox as the backend.

The most requested feature is a vim mode, see:
browsh-org/browsh#31

Extensions can be installed in the marionette instance of Firefox, however forwarding key combinations (i.e. gg) to an extension such as vimium isn't straight forward.

We're thinking about reimplementing many features of vimium in Browsh's own webextension.

Maybe one of you finds Browsh interesting and can give us some advice on how to best integrate vimium features or even vimium code.

I thought of simply copying a lot of vimium code, however the webextension of Browsh doesn't currently use coffeescript, so this would be a huge shift for our project. The idea of maintaining two code bases doesn't appeal to me either.

If you think this issue doesn't belong here, feel free to close it.
