Projects building on top of Blitz

[nicoburns]

A non-exhaustive list of projects building on top of Blitz (first-party ones from this repo included for comparison):

Browsers

Project	What it does	JS engine
Blitz Browser	Blitz's own in-repo multi-platform browser app (URL bar, navigation, tabs). Mostly no-JS	None by default (experimental Boa via blitz-vibey-script)
formal-web	Modular Rust web-engine prototype with formal verification; Blitz for DOM/CSS/layout/paint	V8 (default), Boa or JavaScriptCore
aurora	Experimental browser-engine prototype aimed at agent-controlled browsing; Blitz for DOM/CSS/layout/paint	V8
Kitesurf	Cloudflare's agent-first headless browser running in Workers; Blitz + Stylo for HTML/CSS parsing, blitz-paint for rendering	V8 isolates (Workers), Boa for eval
oxibrowser	Pure-Rust headless browser for AI agents / scraping, CDP-compatible	Boa
AginxBrowser	Single-binary headless browser for AI agents (HTTP API + MCP + CDP): markdown extraction, search, sessions; Blitz used for screenshot rendering	V8

JS bindings / app runtimes

Project	What it does	JS engine	JS framework / DOM
blitz-vibey-script	Blitz's own in-repo JavaScript layer: runs page scripts against the Blitz DOM	Boa	Implements DOM APIs
kiln	Native desktop apps from built HTML/CSS/TS (Electron/Tauri alternative) with CLI, packaging, CDP DevTools, menus, accessibility	QuickJS-ng (via rquickjs)	Implements DOM APIs (runs unmodified React/Preact builds)
blitsen	Run built HTML/CSS/JS apps in a native window and ship as a single executable; npm CLI	QuickJS	Implements DOM APIs (web-platform subset)
napi-blitz	Node.js N-API binding exposing a browser-like DOM API to render HTML/CSS in native windows	Host runtime (Node/Bun/Deno)	Implements DOM APIs
blitz-quick	Experimental DOM-less native UI runtime: JS drives Blitz via a binary opcode FFI protocol	QuickJS	SolidJS (custom solid-js/universal renderer)
naivi	Vue Vapor AOT runtime on Blitz: same SFCs run on Web DOM, Wasm (Blitz in-browser) and native desktop via a mutation-ops bridge	QuickJS (native), browser JS (wasm)	Vue Vapor

Rust GUI framework integrations

Project	GUI framework	What it does
iced_webview_v2	iced	Embeddable webview widget, with Blitz as one of several pluggable engines (alongside litehtml, Servo, CEF)
freya-html	Freya	HTML/CSS rendering component; Blitz paints directly onto Freya's Skia canvas, replacing the WRY-based freya-webview

Renderers (HTML → image / PDF)

Project	What it does	Language / bindings
hyper-render	Library to render HTML to PNG or PDF without Chromium	Rust
fulgur	HTML/CSS → PDF engine (wkhtmltopdf alternative) with paged-media support, built on Blitz + krilla	Rust lib + CLI; Node (npm), Python, Ruby and Wasm bindings
og-img	CLI for generating OpenGraph social-card PNGs from flags or markdown frontmatter	Rust (CLI)
himg	HTML → PNG for dynamic OpenGraph images, incl. Rails .himg.erb templates	Ruby gem (+ CLI)

Introducing Naivi — a Vue Vapor AOT runtime for cross-platform UI on top of Blitz. The same UI architecture can run across Web DOM, WebAssembly, and native desktop.
