    Glad to see Shopify continue their sponsorship.

    Is there an RSS feed for this newsletter? The RSS link at the bottom of the site leads to the same thing as the News button on the top, which was last updated in Oct 24 and doesn't have these updates included.

    “Ladybird has since grown into a cross-platform browser supporting Linux, macOS, and other Unix-like systems” [1].

    Whoah, I missed this!

    Does anyone know how the name Ladybird came about?

    I hope we get monthly or at least quarterly Ladybird Newsletter just to keep the attention of the project along with attracting those who still dont know.

    I would argue this is perhaps the most important OSS project right now. But gets very little support from bigger companies. Assuming money is an issue.

    Anyone connected with Amazon, Meta, IBM, Oracle, Netflix, Salesforce, Adobe, Samsung, Epic, Uber, Bloomberg, Sony, Tesla. Platinum is only USD $100,000 a year. May be even Microsoft, since they dont own blink and would actually benefits competition eating away Chrome's advantage.

    Smart move reusing Dev Tools from Firefox. I always liked them better than ones in chromium browsers.

    Lady bird is such a positive development. Turns out people can just make browsers. Wish them all the success in the world.

    Amazing work every month, somehow.

    RISC-V runners soon, hopefully.

    Still unable to install it in MacOS arm64. As many other people have said, we'll go back to it on 2026.

    I love following the Ladybird development news. Keep up the good work and keep posting updates on HN!

    OT: I liked SerenityOS monthly development video, too. Are they gone, now?
