To me, a project's "hype-ness" is the ratio of how much attention it gets over how useful it actually is to users.
As a browser, Ladybird usefulness is currently quite limited for obvious reasons. This is not meant to dismiss its achievements, nor to overlook the fact that building a truly useful browser for everyday users is something few open source teams can accomplish without the backing of a billion dollar company. Still, in its present state, its practical utility remains limited.
- shevy-java 8mo agoGood verdict. I agree. Ladybird will have to deliver eventually - on this part I think many people agree with.

- smartmic 8mo agoNo, not necessarily. It's the ratio and for most basic research the numerator of the fraction is also approaching zero.
- JumpCrisscross 8mo agoYes, necessarily. Basic research is currently useless in the same way building something that hasn’t been built is currently useless.
