Ladybird seems to be the next big topic but where's the discussion around Servo?
(lemmy.blahaj.zone)
Servo and Ladybird are both nowhere near close to daily drivable (at least for the general public), however Servos been making a ton of progress after their restart and seems much more like an actual chrome competitor then Ladybird. So why do I never see it talked about while Ladybird seems to be the next big topic here?
Keep in mind I do think these are both amazing projects and I really hope they can co-exist
Edit: Looks like the main reasoning is Servo's focus on being embedded while Ladybird promises a fully functional browser
I have just been doing some ghost recon on this today actually. I see they are hoping to make it more embeddable like webkit is. I can't wait for that api because I'm building an app that has need of that. In fact I ran my reveal.js presentation I use for my church in it tonight. It can't do video yet, but most of the presentation was fine. I think animations were a bit wonky.
That said, I think they both are great. Servo doesn't want to be the browser itself while ladybird is looking to be both. I'd love to build my own qutebrowser like browser around servo once it's more ready.
