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 mean, I agree with your reasoning, but the thing is, Ladybird has to advertise to potential end users in order to find contributors. Servo isn't quite in a situation like that, because there's an industry interest in making it fly, but without the industry interest, it would have to do just the same.

Of course, the messaging in such advertising should be that it ain't ready and whatnot, but you kind of have to make it look promising from an end-user perspective for potential contributors to even just consider contributing...
