Torch Browser is not open source, and it still is based on chromium. It's the worst browser combination possible.

Falkon is pretty cool! I prefer using qutebrowser if it's gonna use QtWebEngine anyway. It is slower and less featureful than the main browsers, though. If you don't mind it, I'd say go for it!

I didn't know about Dot Browser, but it looks... unfinished? It's based on Firefox, so that's cool. But it seems someone would be better off just using something like LibreWolf (or Tor if you actually want some privacy).

BookWyrm has a barcode scanner on its UI, which redirects you into the scanned book title (if it's registered in the "databases" BookWyrm pulls from)

This is awesome. My favorite Reddit client was Infinity. Pretty happy to see it being usable for Lemmy!

Cool project! That readme gives me a "I like your funny words, magic man" reaction, but I know it's just because I am not that much into networking and concurrent stuff lol

Those benchmarks already speaks for themselves, and the fact that you are using it in your workplace already shows the awesomeness of your project :)

I would like to point out my project as well:

simpleutils, a small alternative coreutils package. It's the only actual Go project I have right now and it's nothing impressive, but I really am enjoying making it. It's been a blast seeing it being useful in my day-to-day life as well.

It's supposed to have simple and easy to read code, so that you can easily hack and modify for your own needs :)

Programming in Go is a blast. I love using the language and the ecosystem.

But let me tell you, Google never made it any more enjoyable to use Go or to be part of its community. Quite the opposite.

I wonder if we are somewhat close to straight up forking it or trying to create a different compiler, just so the community doesn't have to put up with Google anymore, or at least we begin to actually be heard.
