You know back in 2013ish I actually was doing a little one. 
htmlwidget.d in my github repo. It always sucked but it is 
tempting to go back to it; with my new functions it would 
suck slightly less.


But realistically I wanted to do something I could finish in 
one hour and obviously that didn't work so now I gotta finish 
it in one hour more. Nothing too big can be squeezed in there.


Maybe we could do a community project - D Web Browser (The Web 
Browser)


Would be a cool fun project but I'm just going to be honest. 
It'll never be a webbrowser that takes off or can even remotely 
be used.


The amount of effort put into browsers, especially security 
issues is insane and the scope of an actual browser is a 
project that requires more people than D will ever have 
available.


No, it would just be a fun exercise. But maybe it would be even 
better to focus on something really useful instead :)


If we could get like a prioritized TODO-list. Although that part 
(compiling the list) seems to be the hardest.

Adam currently intends for his livecoding session to be a

He may change his mind before then, though, and I'll update the

DConf Online 2021 Schedule Published

I've just updated the [DConf Online 2021 page][1] with the 
conference schedule. The details for the keynote talks will come 
later.


Adam currently intends for his livecoding session to be a 
continuation of the project he started in last year's session. He 
may change his mind before then, though, and I'll update the page 
if he does.


Razvan Nitu will be joining Walter and Atila for the Ask Us 
Anything! session this year, so if you have any questions for him 
in his role as Pull Request & Issue Manager, or about [the D 
Summer School][2] he and Eduard Staniloiu are running at the 
university in Bucharest, that will be a great opportunity to ask 
him.


I expect the DConf Online 2021 swag will be ready to go by the 
middle of next week. In the meantime, if you haven't picked up a 
BEERCONF! shirt yet, now's a good time to get one and have it 
before the next #Beerconf. You can currently get 15% off that and 
anything else you buy with the code SEASONSALE4U. [Purchasing 
through this link][3] will earn the Foundation a referral fee on 
top of the royalty we'll get from the sale.
