_A modular content-driven web browser_
[source code on Github](https://github.com/amirhouieh/re-)

Re is my graduation project. It was a web browser that let people decide what a webpage should show them. Instead of taking a page as given, you added small content modules, and the browser rebuilt the page from only the parts you asked for — text, an image, a feed — and dropped the rest. What was left was lighter and quieter.

This is where my work starts. The question underneath Re — why do we accept software the way it arrives, instead of shaping it to fit us — is the same one I have followed since, toward how we consume information and how we reach knowledge.
