Diving into WebKit

“First of all, I want to thank Haiku, Inc. for giving me the
opportunity to concentrate fully for a while on the WebKit port and
browser! This is an awesome chance that I intend to make full use
of.

“At the moment, I have mixed feelings. Not about writing blogs.
Not about working on WebKit. But about using the new WebKit browser
to write the blog entry, haha! I’ve seen it crash, although in the
last days, it has become pretty stable. After we upgraded to a
newer WebKit version as the basis for the port, the frequent random
crashes have almost disappeared and I saw only one crash in three
days. Compared to one every few minutes before.

“But still, I am of course pushing it a bit by eating my own dog
food so early on. Lucky for me, I have integration with the system
clipboard already working, so I can at least copy & paste my
writing into Pe from time to time.”
