Not now but we might do it in the future. It's easy to export a Zig project as a C ABI library.
Oh please do. I'm sure there are many people like me who want this.

Author here. The browser is made from scratch (not based on Chromium/Webkit), in Zig, using v8 as a JS engine.
Our idea is to build a lightweight browser optimized for AI use cases like LLM training and agent workflows. And more generally any type of web automation.
It's a work in progress, there are hundreds of Web APIs, and for now we just support some of them (DOM, XHR, Fetch). So expect most websites to fail or crash. The plan is to increase coverage over time.
Happy to answer any questions.
Hi. Can I embed this as library? Is there C API exposed? I can't seem to find any documentation. I'd prefer this to a CDP server.
We're bigger than US Steel. First sentence that raced to my mind when I saw this. Hyman Roth; legend.
The display seems fine to me. I didn’t do any research before I bought it besides using it in a store. I don’t think most people notice the nitpicky details hardcore reviewers seem to catch.
Thanks for the feedback.
I have a Surface Go 2 and it works fine for the stuff you listed. The only possible issue is that the keyboard isn't full-sized and can feel cramped.
Any thoughts on the relatively low PWM frequency of the Surface Go 2's display? Do you notice it?

>These beliefs are not just held by the uneducated, they exist even at the highest level of Nigeria's academia. Dr Olaleye Kayode, a senior lecturer in African Indigenous Religions at the University of Ibadan, told the BBC that money-making juju rituals - where human body parts mixed with charms makes money spew out of a pot - really work.
Are the "uneducated" people basically screwed until the academics are willing to challenge this kind of magical thinking? How do you even go about starting that process?
>money-making juju rituals - where human body parts mixed with charms makes money spew out of a pot
Rituals like this never really existed pre 1600s. They are relatively modern and came with west africa's foreign relations. No serious indigenous spiritualist believes this. It may exist but it's most certainly not indigenous. That lecturer's a joke.

The human capacity for self-deception amazes me. The people in the market claim to believe juju works. This is not a lie; they put up their own money to buy charms. But at some level they know it doesn't work, since they know the prize will go unclaimed. They can switch between these two beliefs to keep from confronting the inconsistency of their worldview.
It's not really self deception. It's more of faith with a whole lot of ignorance. Ignorance of the old ways. How to go about it. So they get easily scammed by fake priests. Most african indigenous spiritual practices have been bastardized by the influx of islam and christianity. Most people believe in the old gods and are right to do so; but generational knowledge transfer is dwindling because of societal pressure. It's not really fashionable to be a traditionalist in Nigeria.

Country of origin is not the sole reason we reject some orders. Most orders are rejected because of more than one red flag. We do have customers from "high-risk" countries. We also reject many European orders that appear to be fake, or that are far enough along the "possibly risky" scale. It is not a perfect art, but our team is constantly tinkering to improve our methods. We find that being overly cautious helps us to prevent abuse down the road. --Katie, Marketing Hetzner Online
Hetzner's definition of "high risk" orders is certainly geographically biased. If you're worried about invoice payments, consider a prepaid credits model.

Had the same issue trying to open an IBM cloud account recently. After submitting my CC info the system told me to get in touch via email, and after contacting them they wanted two official documents (Driver’s License and Passport) to be submitted via email. Big nope from me.
Hetzner will actually refuse your order after you submit your documents with no valid reasons whatsoever. At a point, you just give up and ask your EU co-workers to spin up dedicated servers for you.

Hetzner has a seriously flawed fraud detection system. There are multiple documented review complaints. Seriously, try opening an account from a third world / low income country (non EU/US/UK/CA/AU/NZ), your order will be flagged immediately. If they don't want orders from those countries, they should explicitly say so.
