it looks sort of like a continuation of the beaker browser project. basically, a peer to peer browser that also serves content you have made to others using the browser. it's a cute idea.
As I understood, it's kind of an isolated fork of the internet (not the protocols but more surface-level stuff) with some changes. Considering how bloated and bad internet is nowadays, I guess it serves the purpose of being a niche alternative. I can't really understand the actual features and differences of it though so someone else will have to take a look into that.
Sounds interesting.
It looks like it's based on Epiphany?
It says it uses webkit, so does Epiphany, so most probably it's based on it.
Is it not available to download yet?
It had a verified version on flathub
