A wild thought: Is it possible to accelerate the development of Haiku with AI?
Haiku is beta for decades.
Maybe due to man power / time issues...
Just a wild thought... is it possible to accelerate the development of HaikuOS Kernel and core components with AI so that we can see a 1.0 release faster.
Your thoughts?
I am a big fan of Haiku... but I cannot use it for my daily development work..I have to switch back to Linux.

Does anyone have a pre compiled version of prism launcher for Haiku?
So I was looking up how to get Minecraft 1.12.2 running on haiku since it’s the last perfect update of Minecraft in my opinion and Google said to just install prism launcher. Then I was told to use the Linux compatibility layer so I googled how to do that and it said to compile prism launcher from source code myself.
Problem, I am no where near the level of tech save to recode and recreate prism launcher from scratch. Please help me find a pre compiled version.

A catalog to bring together the Haiku repositories scattered across the net, progress update
Anyone using Haiku knows third party repositories live on different sites, with no single place to browse them. I'm building Spritz to fix that: a catalog that aggregates the various repositories into one spot.
Where things stand: the service now reads multiple repositories at once and extracts program icons directly from .hpkg files, so each app shows up with its own icon instead of a blank placeholder. I'm working on support for ZIP archives and that part is nearly done.
Next step is a public demo to try out, which I plan to make available soon.

Sotoportego, a native VPN client for Haiku, now makes real OpenVPN connections
I have been building a native VPN client for Haiku, and it now connects for real over OpenVPN, driven through the management interface, with .ovpn profiles plus routing and DNS handled by a daemon. In my tests it attaches to a public VPN Gate server and traffic goes through the tunnel.
The design is privilege separated: a background daemon owns the connection, while the GUI, a Deskbar replicant and a CLI talk to it over BMessage. Backends sit behind a common interface, OpenVPN first, WireGuard and IPSec later. No dependencies beyond libbe.
No package yet. I want to test it against a couple of servers that aren't mine first, to be sure it holds up with configs I didn't write :)
