Show HN: Cargo – A minimal browser with almost no UI. Contributors wanted!
- niko001 9y agoGreat work, I like it! When taking on new contributors, you'll need to be headstrong with regard to which features you see as superfluous. You'll get a lot of feedback like "Whaat, no X? A browser has to have X!" and you'll end up with a Chrome-like UI if you give in to everyone's demands. For me, that would be the address bar, because I like to make sure I'm on the right page (rather than a phishing clone) when entering account credentials, but you probably have a good reason for excluding it and need to stand your ground :). One bit of feedback: You should provide binaries as early as possible so that people can easily try it out and become excited about the project. Good luck!
- tobihrbr 9y agoThanks for great feedback! When designing the address bar I actually have thought about phishing - thanks for reminding me.
- ameesdotme 9y agoReminds me of the Min-browser. It has a similar goal and is also built with Electron. Perhaps there's some useful stuff for you! https://github.com/minbrowser/min https://github.com/minbrowser/min
- tobihrbr 9y agoMin actually inspired me to write cargo, because even min ships some features that I did not find myself using.
- ateesdalejr 9y agoIs the OP aware that cargo is also the name for quite a few other things? For one the Rust package manager is named cargo.
