They are similar. I created/maintain toybox, and I used to maintain busybox before that. I started over for several reasons, one of which is I thought I could do a better job with a different infrastructure design.
The https://landley.net/toybox page has "what is toybox", "why is toybox", and "what context was toybox created in" sections, and that third one does talk a bit about the difference between busybox and toybox and the history behind the project.
That page also links to video of a talk I gave called "Toybox vs Busybox", about the differences between the two: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MkJkyMuBm3g
I'm scheduled to give a talk on the mkroot compoment of toybox this weekend at Texas LinuxFest in Austin: https://2024.texaslinuxfest.org/talks/mkroot-tiny-linux-system-builder/ (no idea when they might post video of that).
I'm sorry your browser has trouble rendering plain HTML legibly. I'm typing a text response without even paragraph tags here, and github is presumably somehow rendering it legibly for you, without me having to add any additional information.

I think the readability issue for some is that the margins are not configured, but the text does a wordwrap, so resizing the window to 1/2 or 1/3rd of the screen automatically makes it narrower and easier to read. Alternatively, you can copy and paste the text into a word doc and make two columns (attachment)

I also did a couple of experimental tutorial videos a while back (the "youtube" link in the nav bar on the left), if people find them helpful I could do more:

There's also a quickstart page in the same nav bar:

But that won't help if your browser can't legibly render text pages without css. (Maybe ctrl-plus to increase the font size? What is that on mac, command-plus?)
