An immersive browser app for iPhones, iPads, and MacCatalyst

asobi's Issues

Fix downloading logic

Right now, the file downloading logic is cluttered and hard to keep track of, there are some things to do to make this process streamlined:

1. Put downloading logic in its own class
2. Fix how variables are set/cleared
3. Change how error handling works (maybe put the error description in the view?)

M1 Support

Somehow, this app runs well on the M1 macs. So, optimize this app for ipads and M1 macs.

Maybe a mac catalyst version will be made in the future cuzwhynot

Crashing on press of done button in settings (iOS 14)

A bug fell through!

The blur modifier in the settings view crashes the app on press of the "done" button.

Temporary workaround: Swipe down on the settings menu to dismiss it. Pressing the done button will crash the app on iOS 14 devices.

Find in page

Add the ability to find a word/page in a page and navigate the user to it

open target=_blank

target=_blank in HTML asks the browser to open links in a new tab. This currently isn't possible due to the WebView being a single page. Fix this with some UIDelegate trickery.

History

Add a way to view history, possibly from settings or a navigation bar icon in ipad/macOS?

Default URL

Add an option to set a default URL to open. What if the user doesn't want to use cubari but wants an uninterrupted reader to immerse in?

URL schemes whitelist is not working

Version 1.5.0
Build number 32
Build type Release

Adblock lists

Add the ability to translate EasyList blocklists into Safari content blockers

RPC

Add a discord RPC option cuzwhynot

[Feature request] Add option to have the bottom bar auto hide

Triple tapping to hide is a bit of a pain., so it would be cool for the bottom bar with the navi controls to auto-hide after a specified amount of time. Same for the top bar if that ever gets added too. The time could be specified in the settings or auto-hide could be disabled too. Oh and hide on scroll would be another option too.

Smart Bookmarks Not Working

The smart bookmark feature is not working. Unless I am using it wrong. Here is a video of me trying to use it.

Bookmarks

Since this browser is immersive, it's meant to work with PWAs (progressive web apps). Add a bookmarks sheet for users to add their own bookmarks (along with a method to add them)

Store these in app documents since bookmarks can be huge

Don't highlight TextField when opening settings on maccatalyst

MacCatalyst auto highlights the text field for default URL. Make this not be highlighted immediately since exiting the TextField causes the page to reload.

History not being able to clear

Reader Mode ENHANCEMENT

The ability to turn on reader mode, like in regular browsers, so it will be easier to read articles. This could have the ability to change it from dark to light mode, and the ability to change fonts and font size.

Convert webpage zooming to native

A native solution for webpage zooming is possible, but needs lots of work. The JS version is "hacky" but works really well in testing on iOS 15.

v1.0.1 will feature the JS version of zooming, but a later version update should switch to native zooming.

History Action sheet broken iOS 14.5

On iOS 14.5, the action sheet to clear history is broken. Active bug to fix in another v0.3 build.

Error popups

Right now, webpage errors show up and just... stay there until the user refreshes the page. Make the error pop up and go back down after some time.

Blob downloads

Cubari uses blob URLs to download manga zips and WKWebView doesn't support that by itself.

Since iOS 14 is targeted, WKDownloadDelegate cannot be used since that's iOS 15 and up. Use a JS solution to download and read the blob data to file.

Swift concurrency

Since XCode 13.2 has been released, add swift concurrency paradigms in Asobi's code for futureproofing and readability.

Shareplay support

Possibly add support for shareplay in Asobi. Have to test this out beforehand.

Timeout window

A timeout indicator is a good idea for 2 reasons:

1. A website is blocked by the user's country/ISP and the user doesn't know
2. A malformed URL may have been set

Cloud sync

Add CloudKit support for history and bookmarks to allow for syncing across devices

CoreData

Implement a basic CoreData model

DEPRECATION: iOS 14

Due to a reduced iOS 14 userbase over the past year. Support will be deprecated in versions past v1.5.x. The v1.5 ipa will always be available in the App Store and GitHub once it's released.

Rebranding

This is no longer just a cubari app for ios. Rebrand to a new name.

[Feature] URL bar or access to url

ok to clobber everything together again that i had from serenity & so on:

i am sorely missing a url bar or some way of:

• grabbing the current url in its entirety (clipboard or a selectable text field)
• browsing to a specific url (url bar or a "go to url" popup)
  • (QoS) a way of seeing history / browsed to urls (as hints while typing an url or as a separate page, related to #5 )

this is due to some sites being indexed on search machines here. this leads to me having to painstakingly find a working link for the page i want to go to, or to make my own horribly looking jump page.

Spontaneous app crashes on iOS 14

Asobi sometimes crashes on iOS 14. This is due to an XCode compiler bug on 13.2.1.

JavaScript loading

Add the ability to load JavaScript directly in the browser. This will be a simple use of WebKit's userscript API. All browsers that advertise "extensions" are fake or don't actually work with extensions.

Asobi would have to be restarted each time a script is deleted since you can't remove userscripts from the webkit userscript array.

Adblock

Add an adblocker library to stop ads on those stupid manga sites.
