DOGE On The Web
DOGE developer Michi Lumin said the “current goal” for “Libdogecoin” is to increase “portability and compatibility.”
In other news, my current goal personally for #libdogecoin this "sprint" is to increase portability and compatibility. Already spent all night last night getting rid of some syntax that pins it to the C99 and C11 stds, hopefully soon it'll compile on the simplest of machines.

Libdogecoin is a C library that enables direct integration of Dogecoin across platforms.
