The guys behind have decent lisp and hacking skills and zero to none product thinking. The project is around for a while but the complete lack of ability to think about users or from the users perpective makes it a dead end
- bowsamic 1y agoCan you elaborate? In what ways have they failed their users?
- tremon 1y agoBy not having any form of content blocking for a long time (I lost track of the project, don't know what the current status is). The current web is too user-hostile to launch a browser without even basic stalking protection.
- jnpnj 1y agoI think there's a lack of understanding. If Nyxt is trying to be the emacs of web browsers, it's very much removed from the "product mindset", it's more about somehow coherent capabilities than a product with market and users. Kinda like linux.
- mickael-kerjean 1y agoThis kind of articles / project is exactly why I love HN. I am not much a marketing person but have enough basics to understand that if something does not appeal to me, that's because I'm not the target and as a emacs fanboy this kind of tools 100% appeal to me.
- anthk 1y agoThese are not the target for Nyxt. Think about Emacs. Or, for vi/nvi/vim people, Luakit/Vimb.
- a-french-anon 1y agoNote that while it suffered from featuritis at some point, the main guy reverted some of it after the last other contributor left: https://old.reddit.com/r/lisp/comments/1m3kzv8/nyxt_400_prerelease_12_over_25_years_in_the_making/n479c6g/ https://old.reddit.com/r/lisp/comments/1m3kzv8/nyxt_400_prer... Personally, I'll use and donate to it once it can run uBlock, not before.
- skeezyboy 1y agoi agree but it hasnt stopped emacs or linux for that matter
