Use TOML for `.env` Files?
When reading the file, the environment variables will be obtained from the URL and populate the environment.
This is what I had in mind when designing the import functionality for deon [1].
Being able to import also makes it easy to have a .base, a .production, a .local setup, and combine them accordingly.

Ladybird: A new cross-platform browser project
Hence the second sentence "[b]ut maybe you don't even need to build another Chromium." and then the second paragraph "cost-reducing" billions to millions day-dreaming of a specification-based pixel generator.
Of course, the n-th time is cheaper, easier, faster, case in point: I implemented 'deon', a notation format for structured data [1], using your amazing "Crafting Interpreters" for which I paid nothing since I was reading the web version as you were writing. Never had the chance to say thank you, somewhere in my drafts there is an email of appreciation: reading your book and applying it chapter by chapter, crafting a final, useful artifact, has been a beautiful experience, thank you very much, for all your writing, since I am a longtime reader of your technical and otherwise texts.

Ladybird: A new cross-platform browser project
This is correct, and it's why most open-source software will never have much in the way of users:
> They're written from the perspective of the developers
And I get it. A few years back I had an open-source project [1] get users and it was terrible. What had previously been a fun technical exercise became a pain in the ass that felt a lot like actual work. I was relieved when my hardware broke and I had an excuse to archive the project.
But that does create a huge gap that mostly gets filled by commercial interests.

Professional maintainers: a wake-up call
It seems like you haven't quite got the concept of open source. If everybody consumes and nobody contributes, how long will that last?
A while back I bought a cheap robot vacuum. Their scheduling feature didn't meet my needs, so I reverse-engineered the protocol and open-sourced a cron-friendly CLI tool and a library so people could do other things with it: https://github.com/wpietri/sucks
Honestly, this was a mistake on my part. It was a demanding audience of home-automation hobbyists mostly without programming skills. The company was thoroughly unhelpful. When my vacuum finally broke, I was relieved, as I had a good excuse for trying to hand off the project. Nobody stepped up, so I shut it down. I just ran out of interest in doing free work to support a company worth billions.
I really admire the community spirit of open source But it's not sustainable if companies making their money off it keep depending on the niceness and generosity of others without giving back enough to keep them happy, healthy, productive people.

XMPP, a Comeback Story: A Protocol for Robust, Private and Decentralized Comms
I reverse-engineered the comms for my cheap Ecovacs robot vacuum and was surprised to discover that, like some angsty teen, it spent all day hanging out in an XMPP chatroom waiting for somebody to talk to it: https://github.com/wpietri/sucks/blob/master/developing.md
