Suckless community. Similar goals, higher coding standards, less actively maintained. +- [Rose](https://github.com/mini-rose/rose-browser). Lua integrations, supports compilation with GTK4. Every now and then, the developer nukes the git history and tries some different approach. +- [Epiphany](https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/epiphany). GNOME. Clean browser, distributed via flathub, aimed at nontechnical users. Seems actively maintained. +- [Vimb](https://github.com/fanglingsu/vimb). Reasonably actively maintained, vim keybindings. +- [Nyxt](https://github.com/atlas-engineer/nyxt).

Compiling it on a mainstream Linux distribution, and documenting instructions could be an interesting project, but the few times I've tried that I've failed. +- [servo](https://github.com/servo/servo). Firefox/Mozilla. An in-development browser engine written in Rust, meant to replace Gecko. Could be extremely cool once it is ready, but it has been many years in development. ### Relationship with [rose](https://github.com/mini-rose/rose) diff --git a/TODO.md b/TODO.md index b54933c..63ec9f2 100644 --- a/TODO.md +++ b/TODO.md @@ -3,16 +3,12 @@ ## Quality of life: - [ ] Document creating new applications, e.g., as in [Asana for Linux](https://git.nunosempere.com/NunoSempere/asana-for-linux) -- [ ] Add list of similar projects: - - [x] Compare against rose - - [x] Compare against surf - [ ] Set [`webkit_web_context_set_sandbox_enabled`](), as recommended [here]() - [ ] Use something other than Whatsapp as an example syslink. - [ ] Fix bug about distorted audio.
