Interesting reads
Have you ever heard about a purely functional web browser built with Haskell? It does seem futuristic, right? Well, check out the WWWBrowse, implemented in 1994!
Our second suggestion is not an article. It is actually a post from a Game Dev about bug reports coming from the small but powerfull linux users of his game. We couldn't agree more: " […] the Linux community is exceptionally well trained in reporting bugs. That is just the open-source way." Fortunately, we also receive stellar bug reports (thank you, Nyxt & Linux users!)
As the metaverse becomes the new corporate-tech-panacea-word, this HN thread caught our attention. The text is interesting and the most upvoted comment, from @dandotway, is a great heresy.
Cheers!
Nyxt team
Despite the number #2 in the title, this is the third episode since we started counting from 0. Let's not be normal people :D↩
