This is some 2013 memorabilia, Minie was a project I started at 17 when I wanted to go for an academic route after studying programming for 4 years by myself. It should have been a "hook project" to grab the attention of the MIT where I wanted to study a CSEE master.

A project to better my (poor) skills on architecture and programming among other things. Also, and more importantly, it was the vision of a great educational project for starting programmers like my young self and a totally free (and libre) software for everybody.

The project was originally on GPLv3 but I moved it to MIT license because I don't believe in controlling what you do with code I gave you, anymore The licensing put inside each source file can be ignored. I don't know why anyone would use any of this code tho :D

Welcome to the Minie wiki!

Here you'll find all the informations you need to understand, learn about and improve Minie.

=========

Minie is a Free(dom), simple & lightweight Web browser aiming to be an educational tool.

Most people will think : "Another browser, again? Don't we have enough of these?".
Of course; we could have but Minie aims to be simpler, lighter and (so) easily hackable than the other browsers.
Note as well that Minie embraces the KISS principle!

I have started Minie during Autumn 2013 with the idea that it'll help me improving my programming skills.
During my preliminary researches in the field of computer science, late 2013, I have read about Minix, developed by Andrew S. Tanenbaum, then saw Minie as a plausible community supported educational tool; for IT students, but not only.

Finally, let say that Minie's motto could be :

Simplicity is the ultimate sophistication
