To Osine and Anesi, if you read this:<p>1) Awesome job, keep going!<p>2) You'll find some naysayers, nitpickers and other critics here: Your heroes, including Gates, Zuckerberg, and Musk, all had to deal with them too, before they were legends (and still do to some extent). You can't avoid them; they are drawn to risk-taking and [EDIT: innovation] like ants to a picnic. Just ignore them, their criticisms are just wind in your face as you move forward. They wish their projects made the front page of Hacker News!<p>3) We'd love to hear from you; feel free to leave a comment!
I think this might be a violation of the GPL<p>More discussion here: <a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/coding/comments/38vbme/13_15_yrs_old_nigerian_brothers_built_mobile_web/" rel="nofollow">https://www.reddit.com/r/coding/comments/38vbme/13_15_yrs_ol...</a>
The interview is cool, and even inspirational. They needed a faster browser for slower networks, so they did the research, found an appropriate rendering engine and built it. They solved their own unique problem and built a better browser for Nigerian networks.<p>Osine and Anesi, you guys can ping me, if there's anyway I can help.
Did they write their own rendering engine and everything? If so, that would be <i>very</i> impressive indeed. The Web really needs more diversity in browsers, for a wide variety of reasons.<p>Unfortunately I can't seem to find any detailed information about it; Google the name and almost all the pages are about how amazingly awesome its creators are, and not the product itself... potential users really want to know about what makes this better than existing browsers.
So did they build the Rendering Engine, JavaScript Engine, Network Interface etc. stuff from scratch? If so I'm impressed. I also wonder how it's supposed work better on bad connections.
