We’ve been working on Vaev, a minimal web browser engine built from scratch. It supports HTML/XHTML, the CSS cascade, @page rules for pagination, and print-to-PDF rendering. It even handles calc(), var(), and percentage units—and yes, it renders Google.com (mostly).

This is an experimental project focused on learning and exploration. Networking is basic (http:// and file:// only), and grid layouts aren’t supported yet, but we’re making progress fast.

We’d love your thoughts and feedback.

This C++ code is wildly modern. Very impressive. Using only the GitHub web interface, I could not find the definition for Gc::Ref. Where can I find it?

I had the same reading the source code - it's an interesting mix of traditional c++, while some of the projects use the latest c++20 features with modules. The GC::Ref seems to come form the karm-gc library. (according to copilot)
