Hello friends! I’m really happy to have Shopify putting their faith in our little project like this :)<p>If you’d like a quick intro to the Ladybird project, I presented it at a conference earlier this month: <a href="https://youtu.be/De8N1zrQwRs" rel="nofollow noreferrer">https://youtu.be/De8N1zrQwRs</a><p>Huge thanks to Mike, Tobi and the other folks at Shopify who hooked this up. <3
I'm very happy Shopify is doing this, but at the same time I'm mildly confused by the rationale.<p>Is it literally just goodwill, or does Shopify stand to have other potential advantages out of this?<p>Either way, cool.
We seriously need a good open source browser alternative. Great to see competition here.<p>I would love to see a browser built for developers with new paradigms for Dev Tools.<p>Of course, the challenge will be parity in terms of rendering and performance with the current incumbents.

I feel like I'm on the ground level of when Firefox was first being built. It's a very exciting project that is 100% for a free, open web. What a great achievement!
Crazy to think that about one month ago there were some haters on twitter were claiming that the project would never amount to anything. Way to go, Kling!
Please use the money to rewrite it in Jakt ;)<p>Jakt needs a posterchild project to receive the required attention. Besides, it would send not one but two strong messages to Mozilla
