- genocidicbunny 6y agoI noticed that the old Awesomium domains now redirect to the UL page. Is UL an evolution of Awesomium, or did you sort of start anew?
- adamjs 6y agoYep, We hit a wall when developing Awesomium-- long story short, the vision for Chromium long-term didn't match with our design goals so we announced to the community that we're starting over with something new (which turned out to be a minimal WebKit-port, eg. Ultralight). From a business standpoint, we were offering paid commercial support for not just Awesomium but all the Chromium-related parts and that surface area had grown to be way too large to be maintainable. For the product to succeed we had to refocus efforts on building a solution we could fully own and met the requirements of our core market-- and that took about 6 years of R&D.
