Serious props to you for making a web browser. That is legitimately impressive.
However I feel like most people won't be willing to sacrifice the feature support, stability and security that a larger browser can provide for a potentially better experience.
If this was made by a single person you should really do a write up about the development process. I think many people would also be interested in that.
- lucideer 10y agoIt's built on Electron[0] which is built on Chromium, so it's very much building on the work of a larger browser and just adding a (seemingly) very different UI experience. [0] http://electron.atom.io/ http://electron.atom.io/

- amelius 10y ago> ... built on ... built on ... Well, considering the dependencies, it is impressive that it still is lightweight :)
- PeCaN 10y agoIt's "lightweight" in terms of UI, not in terms of speed or (especially) file size. The user experience is not bloated and it stays out of your way, but it is very much not a small program. Electron-based anything is huge, on the order of ~100MB.
- xaduha 10y agoYou're trying to praise something, but it ends up as an insult of sorts, because you haven't made a slightest effort to figure out what's before you.
- cha5m 10y agoWell he commented that it was made with chromium, which I think probably sorts out the three issues that I mentioned. I would install it, but I am on my windows partition.
- idle_zealot 10y agoIt builds for Windows.
