I can't help but see these "let's create a Web browser from scratch" projects as massive wastes of time. You can't build a sane implementation of an insane standard.

Modern websites and the standards they rely on are overcomplicated. The problem lies with the standards, and the way they are used. The browser can't control that. I could never work on such a project without quickly losing motivation.

Also, that link says "The main community hub is our Discord server." That doesn't inspire confidence in anything.

Plenty of notable open source projects are on Discord. They have no issues inspiring confidence.

(E.g, Dolphin emulator, who seem to have largely moved away from IRC)
