Hi Everyone.
I think there may be people on this list from Chile, I hope this message finds you all safe and your situation stable.
Sorry in advance if this email is too long.
I am attracted to Dillo because of it's relatively small code base, the sloccount command gives me about 50K. Webkit is almost 2 million and it's not even a full browser, just an engine.
I have a insane idea. I would like to create command line tools/browser hybrids. I would like to strip out all networking ability and add in full file system access, perhaps through special <read-io> <write-io> tags to a Dillo fork. The problem I would like to solve is a way to create a very simple rapid application desktop environment for chemists to use. GTK, QT, WxWidgets etc all take time to learn but many people can throw some HTML together. I was thinking that I could make small dillo-fied applications that the scientists could then alter to suit there specific needs. All access would be through local files.
My Son was diagnosed with Autism a couple of years ago, he is getting much better now but we have taken a huge financial hit( >40K) I expect to be back on track by the fall, we are already pulling out of it. My project would be open source but for profit, I do/will have some capital to put towards my project. I am not sure what would be required to complete the CSS support and to add Javascript. I am not sure if the Dillo community wants these things but my networked crippled version could be a testing ground for features that would not necessarily have to go back into Dillo. If anyone wanted to help, what would be a suitable donation to achieve these goals be? Although I am learning I still suck at C/C++, despite this I can also contribute coding time if someone could spare a bit of time mentoring?
Am I totally nuts? Could something like this be done?
Thanks for reading-Patrick
