Nematic

Portable smolweb engine for the mere browser — renders Gemini, Gopher, static HTML, Markdown, RSS/Atom, and other lightweight protocols where content can be rendered with minimal layout cost.

The name nematic is borrowed from liquid-crystal physics: a nematic phase has orientational order without positional order — rod-shaped molecules all point the same way but otherwise flow freely. Light passes through aligned nematic crystals coherently; that's the basis of LCDs. The metaphor for a smolweb rendering engine: organized-but-flowing, threads aligned, the reader sees through to the meaning without layout-noise getting in the way.

Status

Pre-1.0. This 0.0.x release reserves the crate name and documents intent; implementation is in progress within the Mere workspace.
