GNUstep web browser based on netsurf

[Paul Seelig]

    Hello everybody,
    
    since a google search for neither "netsurf site:lists.gnu.org" nor
    "websurf site:lists.gnu.org" did result in any findings, it could be
    suspected that nobody seems to be aware of an existing GNUstep port
    of the netsurf browser. 
    
    I already accidently stumbled over it a few weeks ago while
    searching for a GNUstep based web browser other than Vespucci or the
    GSDesktop variant of the Chromium wrapper:
    
    https://github.com/anthonyc-r/netsurf-gnustep/
    
    It took quite a few tries to get it to compile and the resulting
    GNUstep application appears to be rather lacking in functionality,
    but it somewhat works at least as a proof of concept.
    
    But today i found, again by pure chance, a much enhanced fork of
    this variant renamed to "websurf", and outside of github, and it
    appears to be surprisingly advanced:

    For two screenshots of the current version, please see:

While i am not really convinced of netsurf being a very practical web browser, this GNUstep variant definitely is already quite an achievement.

I wonder how many more GNUstep applications out there in the internet exist hidden from general awareness ...

    Regards,
