@JaydenDev I got tabs, I think.

ok

I just learned how to make a GitHub workspace file for a configuration, should I commit it?

[jdev082]

what exactly is a workspace, is it needed?

[hello-smile6]

what exactly is a workspace, is it needed?

It just adds a JSON file like this which tells VSCode how to set up the editor environment.

{
    "folders": [
        {
            "path": "."
        }
    ],
    "settings": {}
}

Then, everyone'd have the same vscode configuration.

[jdev082]

thats useless when they can just import the folder

or use vim :)

[hello-smile6]

I'm just going to say it, vim is junk. It's nearly impossible to close. Also, there might be a specific configuration you want people to use someday. That'd allow you to set things like that.

[hello-smile6]

Are you going to merge the testing branch into main?

[jdev082]

what do you expect? its a CLI text editor if you cant even CLI then dont use it. Its easy :w to write :q to close omg is it that hard?

[jdev082]

testing branch goes through excessive testing before going into main to be packaged as a dev build

Wait, :w to write? Also, nano's easier.

But it works! Try it!

New UI, dream.css implementation Bug Fixes

tabs pls :) help tabs idk how to tab tabs

Think it's ironic that Freecat's using @MystPi's CSS library, while still not having the same UI as their electron browser.

[jdev082]

i dont remember who added the css library. I have half-decent UI design, and that's really an overstatement.

It was me, in case you're wondering. Isn't their stylesheet pretty?

[jdev082]

I CAN make modern UI design in fact FreeCat already HAD modern UI design.

I agree. Also, why not just use the URL change code from Ninetails to update the URL shown? I noticed that they have that done.

[jdev082]

since the URL bar is a literal tag that isn't possible. unless the website src the webview is set to can be used to change the text in the input bar.. OH MY GOD it is

Find a way to set the text of the URL bar to whatever the webview src is set to

Simple. Check out https://github.com/MystPi/ninetails/blob/b7ee7b7a518cafa76822437f259841a39f3932fc/src/browser.js#L208

[jdev082]

the UI is made in HTML not javascript

[hello-smile6]

the UI is made in HTML not javascript

That's how you run code every time the page URL in the webview changes.

this is purely an aesthetic feature I need FreeCat to not be a dumpster fire first

[hello-smile6]

What do you mean? Also, I got it. Making a PR.

[jdev082]

FreeCat and its code is an unstable feature-lacking dumpster fire Even Ninetails (a kinda direct competitor) has more features and its been around for a shorter amount of time

[jdev082]

the "random browser made by a scratcher" market is a race to the finish.

[hello-smile6]

Well, most of the Ninetails features could be added in under 2 hours. Also, does the testing branch work?

[hello-smile6]

Never mind.

[hello-smile6]

Also, it works. We have dynamic URL updating.

[jdev082]

ima merge it to testing

[hello-smile6]

Testing it to make sure it works well.

[jdev082]

ok

[hello-smile6]

Haven't made a commit yet.

[jdev082]

ok

if you use FreeCat, you understand the dumpster fire

[hello-smile6]

I know what you mean. Also, I got a video of the URL bar update feature.

What? Do you not have an MP4 codec?

[jdev082]

i might not im on linux after all i think its a GH issue

Try downloading and running it using bash, that should open a video player which can play it. https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/73048226/146273106-23b4adc2-b711-48c1-a2cd-82f6a0eb9a5a.mp4

[hello-smile6]

See #97

[jdev082]

I installed all the codecs and libraries needed and it still doesn't show

Try downloading a Chromium build from https://download-chromium.appspot.com/ or installing chromium-browser using your package manager, Chromium might work.

[jdev082]

no #firefoxftw

[jdev082]

btw i can just run sudo dnf install chromium and be done with it

linuxftw

[hello-smile6]

Wish I could do that. Seriously. I don't use Windows because I want to, just saying.

[jdev082]

last thing we need tabs then i can apply some patches and release 2.0

[jdev082]

Features are already decided and being worked on
