Web content as an embeddable engine.

Genet separates documents, layout, scripting, and realization so a host can take the browser profile it needs. Its own reference host is ortet: one chrome-free binary that drives a session directly and proves the engine runs without the application framework above it. Pelt, the browser in these captures, moved to Mere on 2026-09-03.

Pelt showing two tiled panes under a single-row chrome carrying its own window controls: the Merely home page in the left pane with a second tab behind it, and the Floodgap Gopher menu set in monospace on the right.

A Gemini capsule rendered as a native serif document inside the Pelt workspace, its address gemini://geminiprotocol.net/ in the chrome row.
