As a self taught programmer who never got farther than algebra, this looks awesome to me and I may be that small target audience haha.

Not OP but I also attended a part time Lambda School cohort around 5 years ago and the YC association was huge for me.

Have you checked out Vivaldi? Incredibly customizable UI over Chromium, if you do make the switch from FF.

I think about creating this project every time I'm on a Delta flight, great to see someone actually did it.

Curious how WhatsApp makes you feel screwed over? The work they do to ensure end to end encryption is impressive.

Also fun fact, the Shield TV is the longest supported Android device in existence
