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.

Well done, this is really cool. It is nice to see more modern C++ in use. The codebase is really easy to read and understand.

People here need to get over the fact that it's not Rust. I use C++ for my own projects because I enjoy writing in C++. I just wouldn't write them if I forced myself to use Rust or whatever else.
