It looks like this is getting pretty usable!

This post reminded me of gaming emulator updates that I also love to read. "Fixed X bug to make Y behave correctly, which means game Z works now." (One of the things they fixed was CSS Doom, so I guess there is some legitimate overlap to gaming at any rate.)

Good call! I’ve heard Andreas say multiple times building a browser is like building an emulator. Each website uses different features in different ways, and he likens websites to roms.
There is a difference tho between being'pretty usable' and actually being usable with your passwords, data and just being reliable enough for everyday.

I think the gap between having nothing to having a prototype is way smaller than between having something 'pretty usable' and something that is usable.
