My software construction lecture is boring me. Did you know there is ongoing work to land Gecko on IOS? I wont get it because Australia, but still.

I have my own janky variant of this that I use for my own projects, but I want to see how this goes.

Unfortunately the types are not published on NPM and I don't really want to clone down the entirety of mozilla-central as a dependency. Hopefully it will be published on npm eventually. Otherwise I might need to set up a mirror of just the types folder.

I entirely missed Mozilla experimenting with #typescript inference inside of #gecko.

From the look of it, they are using a combination of JSDoc, some generated source from XPIDL, some handcraft typescript definitions, and manual file resolution.

An example in toolkit extensions:

Generated types source:

First extension api is (partly) implemented. Its missing a bunch of JS apis, but it is a good starting point.

- ctrl+n works
- You can drag tabs between windows
- You can tear tabs out to new windows

Its been a few days. I promise I haven't been slacking (much). Now the #browser can be built out of drag & drop components.

I want to add a bunch of layout templates. But this is making other parts of the browser fall over. So there is still yet more work to do.

Exams are done, so progress update:
- Search autocomplete exists (although is slightly laggy :\)
- Open in new tab & copy link now exists in the context menu
- I have chrome-level unit tests that work on CI

Testing was great fun to set up. I have a small test runner called 'zora'. Its built into a webpage, which is opened on CI and sends a post request back to a webserver to complete everything. Indecently, you can open the test suite at chrome://browser/content/tests/index.html in prod

A bunch of clean up and a few new features. Notably:
- Dev stuff is hidden in a hamburger menu
- Keybinds exist & can be edited in a new settings window
- Assorted tab fixes (e.g. defaults to new tabs)

Not sure if I want to make dev builds for this public. Let me know your thoughts.

I spent last night fighting with webcomponents and `<xul:browser>`. It turns out that `remoteType` is a bit broken with my build flags and `construct()` isn't triggered at a predictable time inside of webcomponents (specifically lit).

So, helix is taking a bit of a long time to get working. Especially given I threw everything out to start from scratch.
