<p>Hello hackers!</p>
<p>Welcome to our third <a href="#fn1" class="footnote-ref" id="fnref1"><sup>1</sup></a> newsletter :)</p>
<h1 id="new-features-weve-worked-on">New features we've worked on</h1>
<ul>
<li>Speeding up network queries;</li>
<li>Speeding up <code>set-url</code>;</li>
<li>Nyxt now prompts for confirmation before deleting a buffer that has edited contents;</li>
<li>The user input suggestion should now be instantaneously updated;</li>
<li>New common text editing bindings (select-all, undo, redo, cut, etc.);</li>
<li>We now display source code in <code>describe-function</code> whenever possible;</li>
<li>Permission requests are now handled (such as geolocalization access);</li>
<li><code>reduce-tracking-mode</code> has new options;</li>
<li>The Lisp REPL now highlights the input, displays the input package;</li>

</ul>
<h1 id="new-articles">New articles</h1>

<ul>
<li>Release of <a href="https://nyxt.atlas.engineer/article/release-2.2.3.org">Nyxt 2.2.3</a></li>
<li>Release of <a href="https://nyxt.atlas.engineer/article/release-2.2.2.org">Nyxt 2.2.2</a></li>
</ul>
<h1 id="interesting-reads">Interesting reads</h1>
<ul>
<li><p>Have you ever heard about a purely functional web browser built with Haskell? It does seem futuristic, right? Well, check out the <a href="https://cth.altocumulus.org/~hallgren/wwwbrowser.html">WWWBrowse</a>, implemented in <strong>1994</strong>!</p></li>
<li><p>Our second suggestion is not an article. It is actually a post from a Game Dev about <a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/gamedev/comments/qeqn3b/despite_having_just_58_sales_over_38_of_bug/">bug reports</a> coming from the small but powerfull linux users of his game. We couldn't agree more: &quot; […] the Linux community is exceptionally well trained in reporting bugs. That is just the open-source way.&quot; Fortunately, we also receive stellar bug reports (thank you, Nyxt &amp; Linux users!)</p></li>
<li><p>As the <em>metaverse</em> becomes the new corporate-tech-panacea-word, this <a href="https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=29045930">HN thread</a> caught our attention. The text is interesting and the most upvoted comment, from <span class="citation" data-cites="dandotway">@dandotway</span>, is a great heresy.</p></li>
</ul>
<p>Cheers!</p>
