Hello friends, Ladybird founder here! Here's a short video from Chris Wanstrath announcing our non-profit yesterday, and kicking things off with a $1M donation: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k9edTqPMX_k Happy to answer questions :)

What's the pitch for those who currently use firefox?

I really appreciate someone taking a stab at a project of this scale, but is it really worth discussing for like the 70th time when even the alpha is two years away? https://hn.algolia.com/?q=ladybird

This is only the second time i've seen this project so maybe this is just your perspective.

If Ladybird is "forked" from SerenityOS now, does that mean the mainline won't run on Serenity any longer?

What’s the biggest technical challenge you envision in the future? It’s the amount of “standards” you need to implement and maintain? What’s the JavaScript engine situation?

I'm too used to my Firefox with tree-style tabs and Vim controls to go back to a regular layout.

This also makes me a bit of a tab hoarder, though.

I'd say "I'll be keeping an eye on this," but I'm sure there'll be plenty of posts about Ladybird before the alpha even drops, haha.

The redesign looks soulless

true. extremely boring. a bare html would looks so much better. this one is not utilitarian and is not aesthetic either. it hits the intersection between banality, uglyness and lacks of function - because it is structured like a brochure, wasting a lot of space on stock photos.

It’s okey to flag duplicates, the poster won’t get penalized.

I wonder what would happen if Ladybird matures well to compete with Firefox and Chrome (hope so), and it's just forked away by some company and completely closed down in a whim, because BSD-2 allows that.

Why is that such a problem other than the human factor of seeing your code being used by some guys you don’t like?
