If you followed my blog posts, I have made a lot of comments about what is
still missing. It won't work that I tell you what to do. Just run the
browser, find something that annoys you or that you miss, and coordinate
with me about what you are going to work on. The motivation needs to come
from within you, when you find something you want to work on. I am much
better at answering specific questions about how something could be done
then to try to come up with something that you could work on.

Have you created a debug or release build? As far as I am aware, the debug
builds hang at startup, because the icon database thread is doing some
assertions (I presume) that run into incompatibilities with our pthread
implementation. Just follow the instructions about creating a release build.
