Congrats! Even if this is vibecoded, this is a hard task to get just a barebones renderer working. I do concur with the few other folks here that the ShowHN is meant for actually showcasing something rather than the landing page with a screenshot. I would expect it to link to a downloadable binary or the source. Showcasing Web Platform Tests coverage would be better than just Acid 3. For anyone else wondering why this is hard: I'm writing a browser engine that renders to png. I dug into the source code of other browser engines and came across scenarios that I had never imagined. I learnt about font rasterization, execution contexts for scripts, etc. There's a tonne of stuff to be learnt by building something like this. Supporting iframes and each group of the web platform APIs, each add another layer of complexity that I definitely dont want to be tackling as a solo dev. |
