What could go wrong.
lewisjoe•39m ago
Honest question: How can an entire html/CSS layout engine fit in a single layout.c that I can read over an afternoon? This looks too simple to be usable for serious work.

I am making this web browser. Ask me anything. Bug report welcome.

It looks like AI slop. Is it AI slop?
roschdal•29m ago
It isn't, because of me, I have been a software developer for 20 years now. The browser code is simple, programmed by Claude, and uses fine C libraries for HTML parsing, JavaScript and http requests.
flustercan•12m ago
Are you asking the author to validate your own opinion? Why don't you explain why you think its slop and provide some evidence to back up your assertions and we can have a real discussion.
lewisjoe•29m ago
Congrats on the journey. How did you implement the layouting engine? And how much of an effort did it take?

You should not use the FSL name if you change the date of the license switch, which is originally set to the second anniversary. If you want to change that duration, you should use a different name to avoid confusion.

Sentry intended for the FSL to be specific rather than general. The company's Deputy General Counsel stated:

> TLDR, FSL is narrow in scope for a reason.

> You're free to create your own license based on the FSL with AGPL as the change license if you rename it so that it isn't confusingly similar.
