This is great news. Congratulations Andreas. I am very impressed by your work. Can you shed some light on who’s sponsoring? Any strings attached?
Thank you! The sponsor has asked to remain anonymous for now. There are no strings attached, although we do stay in touch. :)
Why don't people fork Chromium instead? License issues? Why reinvent?
That said, most modern browsers already are forks of Chromium. It'd be nice to have a third option that isn't just Google or Google-funded.

Isn't Firefox already the Linux of web browsers?
Given Firefox is primarily funded by Google handouts ostensibly as token competition to keep antitrust suits off their ass, I wouldn't say so.
Hello friends! I am very excited about this indeed :) If you’d like to know more about Ladybird, I did a presentation about it at the Web Engines Hackfest in Spain just two weeks ago: https://youtu.be/De8N1zrQwRs

I'd say to keep antitrust suits off their ass is even too strong a formulation ;) considering US antitrust is what has led the acquisition of DoubleClick and YouTube by Google happen (and that of WhatsApp by Facebook). Time to hold those responsible for this ... responsible.

I resisted starting a Discord for my open source projects for years. With hindsight that was a mistake. I finally created one a year ago and it had a huge impact on the velocity of the project - I now have active engagement with users and a growing pool of contributors and collaborators, all thanks to that group. I think often it's important to prioritize reducing friction to getting involved over (very rational) res…
How do you feel about the fact that all your institutional knowledge is now not visible outside of Discord, not indexed and barely searchable? How do you feel about the fact that the long-term survival of this knowledge is at the whim of a company that is mostly focused on the gaming community and has no vested interest in preservation over longer time periods? When was the last time you found an answer to a question…

No different than an office workspace no?

Have you considered logging what's said in each channel and publishing it to your project's web site?
Ladybird looks amazing. Just as I was losing faith that building a browser from scratch today was an almost impossible task that only a big company could pull off, they proved otherwise. I compiled it and added packages to install on openSUSE for this in the readme... which was easy because you don't need much to build this browser! And it builds in a few minutes. I wish Discord was not mandatory to interact with the…
