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.
Hm, I'm sorry you feel that way. It's not meant to be mean. On the contrary; Instead of encouraging someone who I feel is going down a wrong path, to me it's kinder to express my view that they aren't. I have personally wasted years of my life on technical projects, and would have been better off if someone had told me that it was a bad idea.
