Ladybird is a BSD-2[0] project from Andreas Kling, the same person behind SerenityOS.
awesomekling does monthly progress recaps, January's[1] shows LB as the fourth most standards compliant browser, just behind Safari. For example, GMail, Google Calendar, and Figma all fully load now, though usability is not at 100% yet.
The updates also have video versions[2], which include demos of Ladybird's rendering.
Last year, Ladybird became an official non-profit[3] and received a $1mm donation from Chris Wanstrath (a Github founder). There's an optional Donorbox link in the upper-righthand corner of ladybird.org[4].

- matsz 2y ago> Andreas Kling, the same person behind SerenityOS Important context - Andreas isn't involved with SerenityOS much anymore. He decided to prioritize Ladybird, which is arguably the more important project here. Also, he used to contribute to WebKit. Even ended up working at Apple for a period of time. Quite definitely the right person in the right place.

- qingcharles 2y agoI can highly recommend Andreas' YouTube updates if you're remotely interested in browser dev. Really fun.
