i saw someone mentioning browser interest. i can't find the post.

from the outside looking in (since i'm very new)

mozilla has the most complete and documented development network i've ever witnessed, if your devs are interested:
https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web

i've actually used some of their documentation in coding

additionally, firefox runs on many different OS. they are the development leaders in browsing tech
i'm sure they would be interested in working with you guys. it already runs on every other kind of linux in the world

lastly, there are versions of firefox that do not even run "on the box" they run in the cloud. it's called firefox portable
https://portableapps.com/apps/internet/firefox_portable

as an aside, i prefer firefox over other browsers because they are committed to protecting privacy

just adding this post in case the DEVS have an interest.


p.s.
Timberwolf was a bounty-funded project to port Mozilla Firefox to AmigaOS 4.[1] It was started in early 2009 as a parallel to AmiZilla, which had the same intent. AmiZilla had a more complex history, as it was started in 2003 by the US firm DiscreetFX with the target of porting a running version of the Gecko engine-based Firefox compatible browser to Amiga platforms. As AmiZilla was too ambitious, the project was halted on November 19, 2009, without significant results. Timberwolf was originally managed by Thomas and Hans-Joerg Frieden (AmigaOS 4 core developers).

The first release was made public in June 2010. On July 23, 2012, the project was declared to be complete and the money (€6732.72) was transferred to the Friedens.[2]

At some point after the bounty was closed the Friedens ceased work on the project. In 2013 Steven Solie (AmigaOS 4 Team Lead) obtained the source code and began working on Timberwolf with an unspecified group of part-time developers.[3][4]
