Download, signup, pay? Never for this demo you can try now:

ssh krnl.duetbrowser.com But what will you see? This: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C3lMIGjkwGM

Self-hosted available (+ needed BrowserBox): https://win9-5.com/krnl

Advantages:

- set the typography you like (your terminal font, size, dimensions) and it just works - the web renders your way

- light or dark mode just works

- set colors you want with terminal color overrides

- Supports: file uploads (disabled in the free demo for security), file downloads, JavaScript modals, HTTP Basic & Digest Auth, all modern JS, multiple tabs, "Open in new tab", back/forward/search from omnibox bar - all from terminal.

If you self host - you also get all the benefits of BrowserBox, such as: GUI breakout for CloudFlare/CAPTCHA (just use your bbx login link, solve it, then back to term), WebAuthn (for now only if you're on macOS), remote DevTools (inspect any page), etc.

Mostly tho this is not about that - it's about the text, the quiet, the world without imagery. Your data shall not be televised - nor your usage (https://dosaygo.com/privacy.html) tho for sensitive work self-hosting is recommended.

Hope you enjoy it! Peace & love & text ;)

Krbn is a childhood dream I finally got to research & prototype (from a hospital bed of all places), during a medical break from my normal work: a rendering engine that draws 3D scenes the way a technical sketch artist would.

It asks "which lines would an artist draw and what would they leave out?"

Basically strokes are derived exactly from geometry, rather than sampling. True conics, quartics etc. So there is no shading model, it's replaced by hatching (either flat or following the curvature of the object). There's no alpha channel, the gaps between lines do the work as on paper. It introduces hand-wobble (which is seeded, so animations don't "boil" between frames) and various other things; the example gallery shows more.

With all that, output is byte-stable, i.e. two successive renders will cause zero changes in Git.

Full disclosure, since it matters here: this was built with significant AI assistance, deliberately, as an experiment in how far a carefully directed human-AI collaboration can get on a hard rendering problem. The briefs are in the repo - judge for yourselves.

The longer story: https://vpalos.com/2026/07/07/genesis-imperfecta-or-i-finall...

P.S. There's no pitch here... just an invitation for a weekend skim over something I find fascinating.

I've been looking for games adapted for 3 yo for a while and it's not obvious as they start to develop a good judgement and are determined but also not quite timely and agile enough for most entry level game.

The idea is to make use of their developing judgement.

So the idea is to use the following game mechanic: 1. The child sees two possible pieces or actions. 2. They choose one and place it. 3. The game updates the situation. 4. They can test immediately or continue. 5. There is no timer and no penalty for experimenting.

Basically like RPGs but with a very tight feedback loop, immediate error display and allowing to fix everything immediately.

Let me know what you think and what I could improve.

I plan to add TTS as they can't ready (normally) at that age.
