Platinum

A WebKitGTK-based browser written in Vala.

Compiling

Requires gtk4, valac, libgee, glib-networking, json-glib, and meson.

To get specific dependencies (various package managers):

apt (tested on Ubuntu 24.04 and 25.04)

sudo apt install libgee-0.8-2 libgee-0.8-dev cmake libwebkitgtk-6.0-dev libgtk-4-dev valac libgee-0.8-2 glib-networking json-glib-tools meson

dnf (only tested on Fedora 42)

sudo dnf install -y gnome-devel seems to work but is quite bloated

To build:

meson build
cd build
meson compile
./platinum-gtk

Project Goals

1. Accessibility - Not only should everything work with a screen reader, it should be simple to use and understand for everyone.
2. Customizability - Everyone has different preferences. A user should be able to apply that to their browser.
3. Community - Create a wide and open community to help maintain the project. An accepting and inclusive community is part of this--no fascism.
