Is anyone aware of any FOSS browser replacement projects? Being a “full stack dev” (feels like a false skill set most of the time) I’m at this point where there are easily enough of us who have struggled with implementing web apps in the various frameworks and tools that essentially all boil down to JavaScript, HTML and CSS.
There’s nothing wrong with them individually, but with modern languages and hardware we should be able to make something better. At least in a way to encourage adoption of something better, and I want to contribute to it.
I’m still not totally understanding what you’re looking for. But if you need alternative to JS for writing web UIs check out htmx. It’s still JS lib but its main goal to facilitate hyper text as engine. Meaning you do SSR but with CSR UX. And it’s backend agnostic.
