SerenityOS: A love letter to '90s user interfaces with a Unix-like core

Hello friends! It's always nice to see SerenityOS posted. :)

(Note: The serenityos.org website is pretty barebones, there's a lot more information over in the GitHub repo.[1])

I'm the principal author of the system, although it has grown quite a lot since it was first seen on HN back in March of 2019.[2]

The system now has its own HTTPS-capable web browser, JavaScript engine, and many other applications under development. Over 180 people have contributed changes and we there's active daily development.

My most recent project has been adding a userspace x86 emulator [3] to the system that provides the same kind of features as the famous Valgrind.

Happy to answer any questions about the system if anyone has them. Either way, thanks for checking out the system!
