Servo Shell

A proof of concept web browser interface for Servo, using the mozbrowser APIs.

Status

Create (and close) tabs.
Enter URL and hit enter to browse to a site.
Back / Forward buttons work.
Window title, tabs, url bars update.
Loading spinner!
The JS / CSS is very simplistic, to work around missing APIs and layout bugs that exist in Servo.

Future Work

Fix up layout bugs in existing prototype.
Add more shell functionality (as Servo supports more mozbrowser APIs).
Switch shell to use react.js when Servo supports it.
Make the real browser.html work in Servo :)

How do I use it?

Clone and build Servo.
- Make sure you build Servo in release mode - ./mach build --release - performance will be much better!
Clone this repo.
./mach run --release ../servo-shell/index.html --pref dom.mozbrowser.enabled
