What Hacker News says

2 sources
Based on what? In fact, the commit messages sure make it seem like someone who only knows how to use git to to take snapshots, exactly like when one turns off their brain and vibe codes, and after chatting enough with the chatbot to get their next feature seemingly to work make some sort of "updated bla" commit with no reference to the extremely detailed code change they just made. https://github.com/beginner-jhj/mini_browser/commits/main/

Show HN: I built a small browser engine from scratch in C++

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 perfection - The Power of "Why?" ~3,000 lines of C++17/Qt6. Would love feedback on code architecture and C++ best practices! GitHub: https://github.com/beginner-jhj/mini_browser
