Show HN: Turtle – Web Browser written from scratch for 2 years

A solo developer released Turtle, a web browser written from scratch over two years, as a pre-alpha download at code.intellios.ai/cwbrowser. The developer warned that the browser is unstable, with bugs, missing features, and crashes, and that much of the web will render imperfectly or not at all, positioning it as an early look rather than a daily driver.

A few weeks ago I posted my solo browser projects and since I have received lots of messages asking the download link.

I was a bit reluctant to release it since it's not at a stable level yet. However I finally decided to just put it out there as a pre-alpha since so many emails I have received.

So now you can grab this pre-alpha from https://code.intellios.ai/cwbrowser/ Note: Expect bugs, missing features, and crashes. Plenty of the web will render imperfectly or not at all. This is an early look, not a daily driver.
