The Ladybird browser project (ladybird.dev)

submitted 7 months ago by [email protected] to c/[email protected]

12 comments fedilink hide all child comments

Ladybird is an ongoing project to build an independent web browser from scratch.

It is being developed as part of the SerenityOS/serenity project on GitHub.

There are no downloadable binaries yet, as the project is still very unstable. You can follow the build instructions to build it for yourself.

This page is not fancy because we are focusing on building the browser. :^)

Since Ladybird is part of the SerenityOS project, development is coordinated on the SerenityOS discord server.

Imagine wanting to see if you can help with the development, but seeing that the development is coordinated on fucking Discord.

I have an eye for typos and like to notify authors as I’m they’ll want to correct them. Blogs that only allow contact via social media apps frustrate me as I’m not on shitbird, fb, insta, etc. Can’t you just have a public email associated with your writing ffs?

And written in C++ 🙄 How many times does this mistake have to be made?

Not sure what’s the problem there?

It's in Proverbs 11:20

The C++ developers are an abomination to the Lord,
But the Rustaceans in their Rust-based OSes are His delight.

Using Qt and brotli, seems nice! But Discord? Hell no.

But is there any plans to support GNU Linux distros, like Debian or Nix? From the first look the browser is only for Serenity.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 7 months ago (1 children)

It does build on Linux distros as well. There's already a package on the AUR for instance: https://aur.archlinux.org/ladybird-git.git

Linux is the only platform to get native WebGL, too!
