Web browsers are ubiquitous, but how do they work? This book explains, building a basic but complete web browser, from networking to JavaScript, in a couple thousand lines of Python.


Browser rendering principles are essential knowledge for frontend developers and are frequently discussed in interviews and frontend training courses. You can also find related descriptions in MDN documentation.

As a seasoned frontend developer, I understand browser rendering principles, but my knowledge has been limited to theoretical aspects. Therefore, I decided to build a tiny browser engine from scratch.

I think it’s relatively well known among people I talk with that blurring text isnt effective at preventing people from finding out what it said. But do they know this is also true of pixalization?

I’ve noticed an inconsistent debugging experience of Rust on several editors. I’ve yet to try it explicitly within Helix, but if I don’t like it, then this seems like a good option!

Definitely great for portable debugging!

I use Niri, it truely does Just Work.

And quite frankly? I’ve felt myself appreciate gtk and other gnome primitives a lot more when they’re detached from that touch-focused interface design gnome is known for.


Wow! This is amazing, and probably super dangerous, and it is oh-so-hard to resist the temptation to immediately perform this on my laptop!

This is really, really interesting. I’m so used to Helix keybindings by now, though, so I wonder if I’d find it more annoying than not…

This is a really neat knowledge database. Definitely something I hope to use… eventually :P
