CERN day 1: rebuilding the first web browser

The project is to rebuilding the very first web browser, aptly called WorldWideWeb (though shortly thereafter being renamed to Nexus, since…the whole world wide web thing being a bigger deal). This event also reunites most of the team that made up the 2013 hack project to recreate the Line Mode Browser. One of the main challenges we faced (and still face at time of writing) is that we want the WorldWideWeb to run on the NeXTcube – and oddly this machine has a number of browsers, but none of them are the WorldWideWeb :-\

Somehow we’ll deliver the WorldWideWeb.app directly to the machine…if only we could work out how to network the machine…

My role in the team is code.
