Blitz is a "native" HTML/CSS renderer built to support the "Dioxus Native" project. It is effectively a lightweight webview except that the JavaScript engine is replaced with a native Rust API which allows Rust reactivity / state management libraries like Dioxus to interface with it directly.

Note: This repo contains a new version of Blitz which uses Stylo. The source code for the old version is still available on the legacy branch but is not under active development.

Blitz is designed to render HTML and CSS - we don't want to support the entirety of browser features (or at least we want to make all such "extra" features opt-in). In our opinion, the browser is bloated for the basic usecase of rendering HTML/CSS.

Notably we don't provide features like webrtc, websockets, bluetooth, localstorage, etc. In a native app, much of this functionality can be fulfilled using regular Rust crates and doesn't need to be coupled with the renderer.

We don't yet have Blitz bindings for other languages (JavaScript, Python, etc) but would accept contributions along those lines.
