Yes, an icon would be cool. Unless you all are content with the one I made. :)
 
Some more updates since my last post here:

  • The project is ported to the Retro68 dev environment. I am building with gcc on my Linux machine and testing in Mini vMac (System 6.0.8 ) and BasiliskII (System 7.5.5).
  • Networking is implemented. I made an asynchronous stream abstraction for file and network IO, which along with an http parser library, allows us to make HTTP requests and handle the responses (mostly). http:// and file:/// URLs work.
  • There is still not yet actual rendering of HTML taking place. For implementing that, I am thinking of making it text-based (e.g. using a styled TextEdit field), like how WannaBe does it.
  • I could release another dev build if people want to test it out so far.
