On: Welcoming Shopify as a Ladybird sponsor

[slekker]

Congratulations Andreas!

One question that might have already popped up: with more and more attention going to Ladybird (in contrast to SerenityOS), how will these sponsorships direct what you do in both projects?

Thank you!

Indeed, all of these large sponsorships so far have been specifically for Ladybird development.

That’s also what I’ve been personally focusing on for many months already, so nothing really changes about my day-to-day.

The main new thing this enables is hiring more full-time engineers to work on the browser. (Still have details to figure out here though!)

That said, keep in mind that 99% of work on Ladybird also improves SerenityOS, since they are part of the same mega-project. :)

We just talked about browser choices yesterday. I really hope we get back a “people’s” browser and not boxed in experiences from Big Tech that the market currently has.

I hope this project remains dedicated to such a vision!
