Next browser campaign: last week of fundraising

4 points by Ambrevar 7y ago ↗ HN

Next (https://next.atlas.engineer) is an Emacs-inspired web browser written in Lisp aiming at giving power users a tool they can hack and enjoy to browse the Internet (at last!). Check out the homepage, it has some pretty cool videos and code snippets already!

It's still at the prototype phase and the GNU/Linux port is only experimental, but a crowdfunding campaign was started a month ago to put full-time development into getting a stable and polished version! It got extended for one last week:

To Emacsers and Lispers looking for a (Lisp) hackable browsers, feel free to join and support the adventure!

Hopefully it will be good, because other web browser is full of stupid stuff.

I dislike "If the user does not supply a protocol in a URL, https will be assumed." But I also dislike assuming http too. I think if the user does not specify the protocol it should be treated as a relative URL.

Jump to heading look like good idea though. History tree look like good idea too. But about buffers, I would like to have a "duplicate buffer" command.

Well, in the end all this is 100% customizable, so you have full decision power when it comes to creating "duplicate buffer" commands, protocol assumption and much more.
