Now I would like to know more: why XUL? How is it different than the last time? I think that this site is not yet ready for wider consumption.

- kreetx 8y agoThis is hn -- software-in-development fits well here :) This site? You mean this software?
- hawski 8y agoI mean this site about this software. Probably both are under development. But it's hard to discuss about the software when it's description is lacking.
- sethhochberg 8y agoMy interpretation is that this is mostly a project for the die-hard users who lost support for niche extensions they really liked when XUL left mainstream Firefox... it reads mostly like they intend to maintain it as a time capsule. "No different from last time" is exactly the main selling feature.
- johannes1234321 8y agoXUL ist not only used in browser Add-ons. There are special purpose desktop applications written using it. This is a project my former employer did some 10+ years ago, but I have seen different other such things. For some time I also used XUL as an UI library inside the browser. Quite powerful and relatively close to native UI which is important for some. https://blog.mayflower.de/64-Is-XUL-the-next-hot-topic-after-AJAX.html https://blog.mayflower.de/64-Is-XUL-the-next-hot-topic-after...
