How is that even allowed under kickstarter?
None of the rewards include the product.

I donated a few tumblr dogs coins. Match me!

>>60074236
because lynx exists and why would I donate to a kikestarter scam?

so it's like surf, but shit?

He wants $6000 to make a config system for his browser? For something that is open source and has 30+ contributors already?

>>60074333
Isn't kickstarter just a platform to launder money?

>>60074265
Kickstarter doesn't require that - only "Projects must create something to share with others": https://www.kickstarter.com/rules

>tfw you will never get rich from asking idiots to just give you money for no reason

>>60074333

For a month of full-time work, with a quite modest "salary" for Switzerland. About $4500-$5000 are left after Kickstarter/payment fees and purchasing stuff.

A few days (a week last year, hopefully less this time) will probably be needed for ordering/shipping rewards and all other administrative stuff.

The rest is time I'll spend coding on qutebrowser full-time (rather than working on something which is less fun, but would give me more money). Most of it will probably go to the config system (it's not exactly a small project, and config is something which touches pretty much all the code, even the ugly 3 year old code). Per-domain settings is quite some effort too. If some time is left, I'll spend it on finishing the new QtWebEngine backend (to make that the default; based on Chromium) and initial work for a plugin API.

Wait, people actually use lynx (or surf) for day-to-day browsing?

(as for surf: make sure you use the 2.0 release based on WebKit2, or you will get an old unmaintained WebKitGTK with no security patches)

>>60077446
surf is basically just safari/chrome but without some elements. it's actually usable.

>>60078093

No, it's based on WebKitGTK. That might have some things common with Safari, but to say it's "basically just safari/chrome" is quite a stretch.

> PyQt5

Good luck buddy. I've gone down that path before and it ain't beautiful.

>>60078189
do not bully!

>>60074236
I would applaud the use of Qt, but
>python
JUST WRITE IT IN FUCKING C++ YOU DONGS

just use firefox

Who's going to stop me?

>>60078189
>Which eye am I supposed to look at?

The left one, usually.

>>60078218
never recommend the abomination that is C++ again.

>>60078167
>>60078200
>>60078218

It has its benefits and downsides (I'm using it since ~4 years), but C++ isn't exactly beautiful either (and I used to write low-level C for a living).

>>60077417
Thank you for qutebrower. I really hope you manage to keep working on it. I'm eagerly waiting for uMatrix support to use it for daily browsing.

>>60074236

>Second camera angle is aligned perfectly to be directly looked at by his lazy eye

This can't be an accident.

>come across another thread where there's people shitting on C and C++ cause it doesn't look as pretty as their baby tier languages like python despite still being the superior coding language for the past two decades

modern /g/ never fails to amuse me. I miss /prog/

>>60074236
Not sure if the anon that presents himself as the compiler is in this thread but good for you.

Actually working a proper project and getting payed for it is great compared to pointless shitposting we are doing here.
