This is early work. I wanted to share because of just how seriously cool and 
exciting I think this is for a couple of reasons. I had some success in 
modifying the build system for ladybird, and it's AppKit implementation to 
support GNUstep. You can find instructions confirmed to work for Debian 13 
Trixie in my ticket here as well as current status:

https://github.com/pkgdemon/ladybird/issues/1

I have been starting to reach out to them to see how I can get a more finished 
version integrated with working CI into the ladybird project. I have not had 
any response yet from the GitHub ticket alone, but I will keep trying other 
methods as it progresses.

Some of the highlights of this approach I think are they can build macOS and 
GNUstep with the same code base using most of the same APIs. I am making 
conditionals for the differences. Like macOS which takes 20 minutes to build, 
my RPI 500+ running Trixie also takes 20 minutes to build. I wiped the GitHub 
repo to confirm and rebuilt from scratch. Unless I am mistaken and it is 
caching somewhere else compare that to 3+ hours to build the QT version!
