So, since this is the top post on Hacker News, and the website's description is a bit too high level for me, what does Servo let me do? By "web technologies", does it mean "put a web browser inside your desktop app"?

It's an alternative browser engine, vis a vis Ladybird

Yes, Servo is an embeddable web browser / webview, like Chromium Embedded Framework. (CEF)

Electron = Node.js + CEF

Tauri = Rust + webview

Tauri has an experimental branch to use Servo to provide a bundled webview. Currently it relies on a system-level webview, like Edge on Windows, Safari on MacOS, and webkit-gtk on Linux.
