So, the project does _not_ cover rendering web pages and tracking the HTML, CSS and JS standards. Those are separate projects.
What remains, then? I guess that would be the user interface and user experience.
- trashburger 4y agoThey're "separate" projects only in name; Ladybird is under the SerenityOS organization on GitHub.
- einpoklum 4y agoBut SerenityOS was started 4 years ago...
- zppln 4y agoDoesn't Ladybird let you work on LibWeb and LibJS from a Linux angle though?
- rhdunn 4y agoYes. LibWeb and LibJS were written for the SerenityOS. As mentioned in the article, some work was done to make them buildable and usable on Linux in a headless environment. The Ladybird project is then taking that work and adding a Qt GUI on top of it.

I guess that would be the user interface and user experience. To be clear it uses a novel rendering engine (libweb) that the creators of LadyBird develop, it's just that that rendering engine has its own name and exists as a separate library. This is not just another skin around webkit or chromium.
