Hi, I am beginer of Webkit forker. I am able to successfully compile WebKit. I like to add new features in the html redering and new tags . So, I want to make changes in the WebKit core on displaying content and functionality. The problem is, I can't trace the code because the option in the xcode "Jump to Definition" takes too long. Editing time error highlighting, Auto completion not working. My Hardware: 16 GB DDR4 RAM, 3.7 GHz Core i7 - 6 Cores, No external graphics card, M2 memory 250 GB. I am really serious about my idea. I want to ask you about hardware recommendation for editing, compiling WebKit fast as the normal iOS app (around 15-30 seconds). I want to use Linux, Windows operating systems as well for WebKit. I can buy mac pro tower. https://www.apple.com/in/shop/buy-mac/mac-pro/tower [I am not sure which is fine for my requirement and I can install Ubuntu in mac pro tower] This really expensive in India. So, I want to confirm about hardware requirement for my purpose before buying expensive computer. I don't know where to ask that's why I am asking in this community. Thanking you!

WebKit does not build in 15-30 seconds on any hardware. The fastest I've seen on Mac Studio was ~15 minutes. Please see https://webkit.org/getting-started/#staying-in-touch for places to discuss WebKit development. We only track bugs and enhancement requests in Bugzilla, and do not use it for general questions.
