We are making a web browser! PREVIOUSLY: >In the face of recent changes in Firefox and Chrome some anons were asking for a Sup Forums's perfect web browser, we collected the most wanted here and plan on continuing with the creation.
To contribute follow the WORK PLAN, join the IRC to ask developers for a repo, and get to programming! IRC on Rizon: #Sup Forumsnetrunner
>WORK PLAN Look at the features list and implement them, ask what is currently being worked on if you don't know. FEATURES pastebin.com/bnUU6kcu FAQ pastebin.com/gjp7QmQJ
There hasn't been an update in a month, it's dead jim
Julian Gonzalez
bumping for interest.

Hello everybody.

>a working Lisp browser that accomplishes all the goals of this project Can it work on the framebuffer and is written in C/C++?
Josiah James
INSTALL CHROME
THIS TRASH IS VAPORWARE
Brody Fisher
Calm down buddy.
Justin Hall
Is anyone who knows what the fuck theyre doing actually working on this or is it dead?
Man I really just want a browser called netrunner desu
Joseph Williams
I've seen devs working on this less than a week ago. Development continues but they don't make miracles, we'll have to wait.
Julian Butler
what rendering engine does this use? javascript engine? will it be as extensible as firefox was?
Oliver Myers
why must it be written in c++?
Gabriel Harris
>what rendering engine does this use? Its own, if Odili succeed it can be used to render other kind of formats too (I hope). >javascript engine? They said is going to be compatible with several implementations. They been experimenting a bit on their own too, but just for testing. >will it be as extensible as firefox was? Much much more, read the features wishlist and get surprised.
Isaiah Campbell
The original idea as to have everything in C, but they went for C++ to leave it open for a future rewrite with minimum effort. This way the code is minimal and efficient.
Jace Turner
all right, I'm invested enough to do a google search in a couple of years
Eli Wright
kek, well memed
Jaxon Clark
But you are wrong.
Landon Hughes
Why is chrome so shit? It can't do bookmarks an more than one tab kills this abomination. Pajeets at google don't know how to code.
Robert Sanchez
Bump
Jordan Campbell
sir do the needful and install netrunner to get rid of the virus on your computer thank you
Angel Reed
Is electron framework also botnet, or do you really want to make own javascript engine?
Why to make HTML/JS browser, when you can just make something like universal interface and WebGTK++ an make some usefull apps in it? Really, i'm not that much browsing I couldn't do with chrome, and it would be better to have some client that loads better interface than fucking DOM
If you just want to strip off tracking something like chromium // electron framework is good core and you don't have to reinvent wheel,
Also where's the NIM guy now? Can't he make us a browser in nim faster than he says nim?
You lack leadership, this won't end up good
Cooper Bennett
INSTALL NETRUNNER, greatest indian browser, from indians to indians thank you
Joseph Young
>pastebin.com/bnUU6kcu Can I have a feature request? It's uberfeature that needs to be done at beginning of developement because it has to do with process controll and singleton runing and shit can't be done in chrome lazy.
That logo still looks like Moonman, Sup Forums. Better luck next time.
Alexander Ward
>NetRunner This name is too late 90s
Robert Cox
Why the hate? Name and logo are cool af.
Luis White
I know some html css3 and html5 Can I help you guys?
Mason Adams
Would a web browser not be the ideal use for electron?
Brody Nguyen
>expecting electron haters to use their brains
Kevin Gonzalez
>node js for the backend >chromium for the frontend >chromium Why would we want a meme and a botnet anyway?
Nolan King
"botnet" is a meme
Anthony Jenkins
But user, thanks to Atom IDE we know the true power of electron, waiting 10 minutes to open.
Andrew Kelly
cool. just enough to go grab a coffee in the morning when you sit down to work
Jack Anderson
nice logo
Kayden Ramirez
Great comeback m8.
Austin Ward
thanks m8
Aaron Taylor
Was vim bindings the next in line right?
Elijah Torres
Why use it when stuff like QupZilla or qutebrowser exist?
Oliver Morgan
>qutebrowser
Ayden Sanders
>implying it won't be botnet like the others
Jacob Lewis
yea ok but where's the logo, faggot
Brayden Long
>implying your mom is not a botnet
Elijah Sullivan
>implying we have no logo
Ryder Ross
Thank you /gd/.
Sebastian Cook
Damn they roasted our art skills
Jason Turner
Why wouldn't they just program it in Rust? It's objectively the better language
Joseph Hall
>shilling Rust Goddamn, here too?
Adam Cruz
>Its own, if Odili succeed it can be used to render other kind of formats too (I hope). I dream about using nr to render LaTeX on the framebuffer.
Imagine using this to power something like TexMacs.
Daniel Bennett
>Why wouldn't they just program it in Rust Why don't you stay in here
Dominic Hall
This has been advertised on other imageboards and still development is dead. Just give up already
Isaac Powell
It's a browser built on top of a browser which is also built on top of another browser. Kill yourself
Jack Russell
You been announcing its demise since how many months now? Also your constant shitposting is very suspicious.
Dylan Torres
Niggas gonna nig
Mason Sanders
RIP Neetrunner
Grayson Gutierrez
What?
Owen Martin
Almost dethroned Tox as longest surviving Sup Forums project
Owen Rodriguez
If you want a piece of software that is (a) feature complete and (b) works properly, don't use sepples.
Andrew Ortiz
bump
Nicholas Powell
just let it die maan
Jayden Lee
At that point you are literally redesigning Chrome on top of Chrome. Its a waste of time.
Leo Powell
Baka, developers didn't stop.
Tyler Turner
What browsers do you guys use? FF is slowly killing all my addons but until the very end I won't let go.
Jose Williams
FF 58
Austin King
>/ntr/ That's an unfortunate acronym.
Is there a reason the developers aren't using WebKit/Blink or Gecko? Why reinvent the wheel?
Nicholas Carter
>Is there a reason the developers aren't using WebKit/Blink or Gecko? Why reinvent the wheel? because the developers are high school kids who are trying to make their first programming project and are making the most rookie of errors, picking a huge scope and thinking they can implement even basic features
just look at the 'quality' of their code and it should be obvious that they're all amateurs
i fully expect this mess to unmaintainable and abandoned soon, it won't even reach the stage of being insecure or too slow for any real applications
Charles Mitchell
(a) to learn how browser engines work and how to make them and (b) this is the most lightweight thing possible, those engines mentioned by you are bloat
Ian Clark
>thinking they can implement even basic features what "basic features" can't they implement? >just look at the 'quality' of their code and it should be obvious that they're all amateurs some parts will be rewritten once in a while >i fully expect this mess to unmaintainable and abandoned soon, it won't even reach the stage of being insecure or too slow for any real applications it can already browse basic websites, of course it won't reach the stage of being able to display youtube or something, but it was never meant to
Cameron Jackson
>what "basic features" can't they implement? html parsing, javascript, basic css, whatever really, this thing is a nonstarter
>some parts will be rewritten once in a while oh yeah, sure, just like they were supposed to be "rewritten" every time this thread is reposted. instead they are only expanded and made even more retarded. just look at the screenshot somebody posted earlier in this thread
>it can already browse basic websites, of course it won't reach the stage of being able to display youtube or something, but it was never meant to "basic websites" as in it can wget text, strip tags, and display it - no style info is preserved
Daniel Flores
Get in the discord or irc. There is something for everyone. Website could do with a touch up.
Liam Ortiz
>those engines mentioned by you are bloat They're also mature software products with years of development behind them. Why not just fork one and strip out the extraneous features?
Jack Powell
>html parsing this is already being implemented? >javascript this is a very big step and I won't consider it "basic" >basic css will be there
>"basic websites" as in it can wget text, strip tags, and display it - no style info is preserved this isn't happening? everything is parsed, but there is just yet so much to work on
Zachary Lewis

David Thompson
>implying ntr wasn't by purpose
Jaxon Smith
how about starting off with an actual windows / linux .bat or something with an actual raster icon file attached that can launch the thing for the layman user
