Webicity Web Browser: An unending fight against complexity (complexity is winning).

Webicity

Webicity is a simple web browser that I am working on (it is unfinished).

Switch to the "ribbon" branch for the last working version. I have a habit of not working on projects for a long time and then rewriting them, so it's been a long time since there was a working version of Webicity.

Webicity consists of multiple components:

• Webicity browser: A graphical UI for Webicity, so that users can actually use Webicity.
• Webicity: Responsible for rendering content.
• Thready: Provides a GUI component system, and interfaces with the preferred drawing system.
• Thready web extensions: Part of Webicity. Allows for rendering web pages with Thready.
