wow! they already have android apk? Awesome!

My understanding is that the main focus is on the engine and building a good embedding API so that folks can build browsers (and apps and web drivers etc...) with it.

Giant leaps aren't typically the way to steady progress

seems entirely reasonable reason and approach, and I see no reason to force everyone approach LLM in the same way

Currently they do not: https://book.servo.org/policy/ai-usage.html

The references to ChatGPT and Copilot suggest it was authored before the Codex and Claude Code revolution. I wonder if they'll revise it at some point soon.

Update: looks like that language was originally added in July 2024: https://github.com/servo/book/commit/5afb80d5b08b259ca359cfe...

I found a discussion about changing it in April 2025, but they decided to keep it the same at that point: https://github.com/servo/servo/discussions/36379

Ladybird seems to be embracing vibe coding, so I think there's a great opportunity to compare them. After a couple of months of vibe coding what do you people here think about Ladybird's progress?

That was my thought as well. You'd imagine a known quantity like a browser should be easy to make now. I know it sounds ridiculous to anyone who hasn't tried the new models, but idk what to tell you. Photoshop used to be impossible to clone, too. I asked Opus 5.5 to add SSGI to an open source game and it did it in an afternoon. I don't know anything about graphics programming. This is nuts.

About ready to switch to Servo as my daily driver on desktop.

Have been using it as the render backend on an experimental tablet OS and its quite capable once you fix the font rendering.

Would gladly upstream contributions but I dont type anymore.

I think the sweet spot is not allowing vibe-coded contributions past a certain line count. At least, that's my policy. If you use an LLM to track down some bug that's a few lines to fix; that's fine. But if it's a new feature that needs 100s of lines; just make a feature request and if I agree, I can spin up my own clanker.

> Do they allow vibe-coded contributions?

are there serious projects welcoming vibe-coded PRs?
