Show HN: A mobile gesture-based browser I have been working on. [iOS] (apps.apple.com)
I didn't really know where to start but then I thought that the entire "container" experience of browsing websites on mobile could be better. I had some ideas and this is a mixture of many of them:
* clear app launch with keyboard up to quickly search
* "intelligent" search suggestions so you don't have to manage bookmarks/tabs that learns your browsing history and what sites you visit (lots of ideas here)
* ad blocking
* banners and "download the app" banner blocker (on some sites)
* dark mode-ify websites
* Easily re-run your query on other sites (reddit, youtube, etc) (similar to SWURL that was posted here)
* Search helpers to quickly run your query where you want
* Quickly create new tabs and swipe between them
* Zoom gesture to enter full screen browsing mode that makes it feel like any website is an app!
* A Video player bar that shows on pages with videos to easily control things like play/pause, airplay/chromecast, PiP, change playback speed, and more)
* Customize the colors
* Purely local, no data is sent to a server (i'm too lazy to do that)
I think that's about all the ideas i've built in so far, but I have many others.
And if you have cool ideas, feedback, bugs, complaints please join the Discord and lets chat!: https://discord.gg/Njd8uzCF8P
I first wrote this app in React native and didn't touch it for months, I recently came across SwiftUI and decided to re-write it and ended up getting a bit carried away with how easy it was to build things in SwiftUI in such a short amount of time
