Is it just for fun or not? I think it's important to face this question, because users should not trust a just-for-fun browser with their security, and we should not look to Ladybird as a meaningful contribution towards competition in the browser space if it's just for fun.
If it's just for fun, we need to temper our expectations accordingly.
- jraph 3y agoI think it's a "just for fun" project that is getting a bit serious, and sponsored. And that having expectations as a end user is still a bit premature. You can expect the project to move somewhat fast.
- 10000truths 3y ago"Just for fun" is precisely how Linux started: Hello everybody out there using minix - I'm doing a (free) operating system (just a hobby, won't be big and professional like gnu) for 386(486) AT clones.
- charcircuit 3y agoSimilarly people shouldn't have used Linux for serious use cases back then. We are talking about the present.
- whyever 3y agoThey don't provide binaries, so I don't think there is a risk of having users. Is it really important to answer this question? A lot of widely used software started as "just for fun", e.g. Linux or OpenSSL. I think tempering our expectations should be the default for Open Source software.
