I haven't publish it anywhere except snippets. It still buggy and unfinished. I don't know if I want to opensource it either.

A small non-functional browser — I've been coding a small 'browser' from scratch these days. The idea was to keep dependencies at minimum. So, I would use raw sockets to do everything and use raylib to render it. In the end I gave up understanding how open_ssl cryptography worked from specification and ended up just calling openssl and including it as dependency. it can handle [http link] [https link] (both on text mode) and did I say it can also display gemini capsules if given a [gemini link]...
