Show HN: Trying to build Chromium UI in HTML to increase prototyping speed

3 Advait1306 0 8/1/2025, 5:13:58 AM youtube.com ↗

I'm not so comfortable using C++ for making UI & I wanted quick prototyping so that I can try things with Chromium. I’m building a way to make chromium UI in HTML/CSS/JS. It’s being made on top of chromium’s WebUI framework, the same way its settings & new tab page are rendered.

This has been done before with an open source browser called Vivaldi & I think Microsoft Edge. Although, in the near future I want to add ADK (Arc Development Kit)[1] like features that allow me to tap into the main Browser’s context without doing a lot in C++.
