[6] Tim Berners-Lee wrote what would become known as WorldWideWeb on a NeXT Computer[4] during the second half of 1990, while working for CERN, a European nuclear research agency.

[7][8] By this time, several others, including Bernd Pollermann, Robert Cailliau, Jean-François Groff,[9] and visiting undergraduate student Nicola Pellow – who later wrote the Line Mode Browser – were involved in the project.

[10] When a new version was released in 1994, it was renamed Nexus Browser, in order to differentiate between the software (WorldWideWeb) and the World Wide Web.

[2] Berners-Lee and Groff later adapted many of WorldWideWeb's components into a C programming language version, creating the libwww API.

Those involved in its creation had moved on to other tasks, such as defining standards and guidelines for the further development of the World Wide Web (e.g. HTML, and various communication protocols).

[citation needed] On 30 April 1993, the CERN directorate released the source code of WorldWideWeb into the public domain.

Editing pages remotely is not possible, as the HTTP PUT method had not yet been implemented during the period of the application's active development.

Users could create multiple home pages, similar to folders in modern web browsers' bookmarks.
