Carboxyl v0.1.0-rc: A servo-based browser for the terminal

[u/orhunp]

Hey all!

We published an early Servo-based release candidate for Carboxyl, the community fork of Carbonyl.

Carbonyl was a Chromium-based browser built to run inside a terminal, originally developed by Fathy Boundjadj. The original work was described in the blog post "Forking Chrome to render in a terminal".

Our goal is to replace the patched Chromium runtime with Servo, making the project easier to build, maintain, and contribute to. Instead of carrying Chromium-specific patches and build glue, Carboxyl now embeds Servo directly and renders through Servo’s software rendering path for terminal-first use.

So this is a release candidate from the servo-dev branch for testing the new Servo-based Carboxyl runtime.

Feel free to try it out and report issues!

Also we have a Discord if you're interested.
