Agreed that README is very unclear - it's not a browser at all, actually. It's just a GUI library for rust & node.js which happens to have little DOM-like layer.
This pseudo-DOM is really just enough to make web frameworks work. I want to do GUI apps with the same tools & libs which I use for web development but I don't want to include the whole browser and moreover I want it to be enough resource-savvy so that it can run on my raspi attached to the TV.
It's hard to describe what it is good for because there are many use-cases. It's really rather a platform just like Electron or Qt is, but of course it's very limited now. But really, if you or anybode else have better headline, I'd love to hear it.

And thanks for the interest :-)
