Stellar overview! I enjoyed it and the presenter 😊Say, let us know what secret microphone you guys are using. I didn't see any mic. Must be well hidden somewhere. As someone who writes music, I guess I have reached the point where I notice quality sound. I can tell a lot of love went into this 😄
When it was first created for KDE, it was to view files and documentation back in 1996. At the time, Netscape Navigator dominated the browser market, and the project wasn't originally intended to be a web browser, just a way to write interfaces and help documents in HTML. A couple years later, it became KHTML, which then became WebKit -- which ties the history into this video. But I mention this to explain why many browsers still start all web connections by announcing in their connection that they are "KHTML, like Gecko" -- KDE's browser engine, and then claiming it is like Netscape Navigator 6, which used Gecko as their engine.
> the project wasn't originally intended to be a web browser, just a way to write interfaces and help documents in HTML Yes! I'm old enough to remember the idea of hypertext as a 'writeable' medium: a way to create and distribute linked documents. I also remember my first experience of 'the web' (in the early/mid 90s - Mosaic, I guess). It seemed gaudy and glitchy and a bit boring: lots of colours and very little content. I was working as a temp at Digital/DEC at the time, and the internal DECnotes groups were much more interesting: great CL interface, high S/N. After years of using standalone PCs, it's hard to explain how amazing it felt to experience a global network, including people working from home via phone modems. On a tangent - it's interesting that Alan Kay's 1977 article 'Microelectronics and the Personal Computer' (which I read and reread as a teenager) doesn't IIRC mention networking: www.digibarn.com/collections/books/xerox-parc-1970-80/alto-article: it's all about the 'computer in a briefcase'.
Hey, its really good to explain the foundation of it all and I appreciate the effort put into producing this video. But an accompanying transcript or blog post is missing here imho

In some recent news, Apple is considering dropping their requirement for browsers on iOS to use WebKit
Safari is the new IE. It’s unfortunate but it has become true. It’s holding web dev back now.
@@TesterAnimal1 I agree. I think safari needs to catch up with chrome before they start doing new stuff
Like the news from about 5 years ago where Apple considered enabling push notifications?😅😂🙈
@@bahuma20 haha web push on iOS, an old dream

@@samueldutton Can we just go back to that era with some basic UI/UX improvements? :) Writing web front-ends genuinely sucks the life out of me.
@@rkvkydqf :) I know what you mean - I do feel nostalgic sometimes...
Great video. It showcases how the creation of Open source projects has really helped.
Thank you!
good video ! very well explained with the diagrams ! 💻📡📹😎🤙
It's a pop punk band... according to RUclips
For a second I thought Y'all would talk about blink the emulator.
Learning a lot. Thanks for this exciting event.
Really interesting loved this video thanks!
There WebKit libraries in most Linux distros, but no Blink. How come?
❤❤
you should show this to Apple...
why google doesn't provide any tutorial about Skia graphic api of Blink?
😅

Never been this early
what about ozone?
Is it weird that I feel 2x is the optimal speed for this video?
I don't think I'd had my coffee yet, Šime 😆.
Blink dagger!
TIL thanks.
