Hi HN! Korean high school senior here, about to start CS in college. I built a browser engine from scratch in C++ to understand how browsers work. First time using C++, 8 weeks of development, lots of debugging—but it works! Features: - HTML parsing with error correction - CSS cascade and inheritance - Block/inline layout engine - Async image loading + caching - Link navigation + history Hardest parts: - String parsing(html, css) - Rendering - Image Caching & Layout Reflowing What I learned (beyond code): - Systematic debugging is crucial - Ship with known bugs rather than chase…

We’ve been working on Vaev, a minimal web browser engine built from scratch. It supports HTML/XHTML, the CSS cascade, @page rules for pagination, and print-to-PDF rendering. It even handles calc(), var(), and percentage units—and yes, it renders Google.com (mostly). This is an experimental project focused on learning and exploration. Networking is basic (http:// and file:// only), and grid layouts aren’t supported yet, but we’re making progress fast. We’d love your thoughts and feedback.

BoringSSL and nghttp2. Matches JA3N, JA4, and JA4_R fingerprints. Supports HTTP/2, async/await, and works with Cloudflare-protected sites. Not trying to compete with curl_cffi - just a learning project that turned into something functional.

We've been trying to evaluate web scraping companies, but when you look at their benchmarks, you can't verify anything, and they mostly exist to prove the company is successful. They put somewhere between 98% and 100% because they pick their own urls, define success their own way, and don't publish the harness. We also saw companies like scrapfly astroturf websites like scrapeway and call them independent. So, we built an open source benchmark that we want to represent the frontier of web data. We're trying to look across all major anti-bot providers and industries, to build a comprehensive…

Hey Hacker News community! I'm thrilled to introduce Excessibility, a library that I've developed to address a crucial aspect of web development - accessibility testing. With Excessibility, you can effortlessly test your Elixir/Phoenix applications for a11y issues and ensure compliance with WCAG (Web Content Accessibility Guidelines). Accessibility is a fundamental principle that should be at the core of every web application. It ensures that people with disabilities can access and use your website or application without any barriers. However, testing for accessibility issues can be a…

I wanted to test mobile apps in plain English instead of relying on brittle selectors like XPath or accessibility IDs. With a vision-based agent, that part actually works well. It can look at the screen, understand intent, and perform actions across Android and iOS. The bigger problem showed up around how tests are defined and maintained. When test flows are kept outside the codebase (written manually or generated from PRDs), they quickly go out of sync with the app. Keeping them updated becomes a lot of effort, and they lose reliability over time. I then tried generating tests directly from…

*Problem*: As a developer, I often juggle 50+ tabs across projects. Existing bookmark managers felt clunky, and tab groups required too many clicks. *Solution*: TabTab replaces your new tab page with a grid-style dashboard. Key features: - Save all open tabs as a collection with one click (perfect for debugging sessions) - Self-hosted sync via GitHub Gist/WebDAV (no tracking, your data stays yours) - Keyboard shortcuts & drag-and-drop (demo video: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OQQEKbI9moc]) *Tech Stack*: Built with WXT (browser extension framework) + React + Tailwind.…

Our team at Clym built an open-source Accessibility Testing tool to help developers and auditors identify and fix web accessibility issues, combining automated and manual testing in one place. Our tool integrates the open-source axe-core[1] library for automated testing against WCAG 2.0, 2.1, 2.2 and EN 301 549 standards. For issues that automation can't reliably detect, it includes manual review workflows that guide testers through contextual checks (like keyboard navigation and visual contrast validation). It can also generate Accessibility Conformance Reports (ACRs) in multiple formats…

Hi Hacker News. Today, we're excited to launch Aircada, a lightweight browser based 3D design studio for creating interactive 3D content on the web. We remember using three.js back in 2010 before we had smart phones. And now 15 years later it feels like 3D on the web is finally starting to see the light of day. We use the beloved three.js under the hood - with WebGPU alongside the awesome node material system and TSL shader language. 1 minute demo video showing off what Aircada can do: https://youtu.be/hAJPnP93pfA Hop right into a template:…

It's blowing my mind that I could build an app from scratch in 3 hours and deploy it with the click of a button - without writing a single line of code myself CacheNotes is a browser-based note-taking app that saves your notes, threads, and AI conversations securely in your browser's local storage 100% free. No login required. You get, - simple, minimal note taking app in your browser - no login required - you can connect your claude api key for the ai integration - visualise notes and twitter threads Check it out! Would love some feedback :)

Hey folks, I am finally posting a Show HN post for a project I have been working on for several months now, and it's in a state where I already get a lot of value myself, so I am happy to share broadly. The pitch line is: "Skybear.NET is a managed platform automating Synthetic HTTP API testing." At the moment, the main source file format supported for your API tests are Hurl.dev files [1]. Hurl is a CLI tool wrapping `curl` and it's really awesome. At least check that out :) I am not affiliated directly with the Hurl CLI tool, and the platform I am building provides full Hurl compatibility.…

My partner and I are avid users of Delicious/Pinboard and wanted a quick way to add to and access our stored bookmarks. We created a Chrome extension to scratch that itch. It shows your ten most-recent bookmarks by default, with a fast search interface to find older bookmarks, and keyboard shortcuts for navigation. We plan to add pagination in an upcoming release, and have considered adding support for Safari as well as alternate bookmarking backends. The (mostly CoffeeScript) source is up on GitHub, and may be interesting as an example of caching Backbone Collections in localStorage or…
