Merezhyvo browser

I’m not a lawyer, but as far as I understand, these permissive licenses (MIT / BSD-style) allow me to keep my own JS/TS code under a more restrictive “source available, free to use” license, as long as I keep the attributions and don’t claim their code as mine. This is what I am doing now.

Yes BSD, MIT and apache license allow you to make derivative with the only obligation to give credit (to simplify).

The source code is published on GitHub so that people can read it and see how the browser works. My own license is a “free to use, source available” license. The only restriction is that reuse, modification or redistribution of my code is not automatically allowed – people should ask me first.

The app on the OpenStore is marked as Proprietary. I don’t see any more suitable option there.

Yes in that case it is indeed proprietary. You might want to add a license file explaining shortly that in you GitHub directory, to make sure everyone understands and respect your conditions.

@pparent yes, the license is there on GitHub, as well as all third-party licenses and Tor license.
As well there in the browser is a special Licenses page where all of them are available (including licenses for every single npm package I use)

Thanks again and feel free to check the code if you want to.
code base

Thanks. I was able to build it from source but not installing it from the Open Store, I see now why, and some minor errors.
Again, thank you. You have fun developing this app ^__^

I am happy you managed to get a chance to try the app.
Would really appreciate if you could share the errors and issues you found.
Regarding to fun: definitely I do, this is the first Electron project and the first UT project. And I thought it is just a small side-project.

Well, great to try...
I have a small problem with the keyboard (even in French, it's a QWERTY keyboard).
The zoom is a very good idea for a phone.

I confirm !

What's about https://earth.nullschool.net/#current/wind/surface/level/orthographic. should the earth be able to rotate? Or the browser depends on Qt6 too to do that ?

@naz.r Thanks to offer us a new browser

Thank you for this responsive interface !

Some questions :
Currently,

Can we reload a page?
Can we save the open web page as a bookmark?

@Vlad-Nirky , @domubpkm
Thank you for your feedback, appreciate it.

Regarding to your questions:

French keyboard layout. Actually, not only French. Yes, right, my bad, layouts have all language-specific letters, but stuck with QWERTY.
That's already fixed and going to be pushed with the next release nearest time. There are quite a lot of changes and improvements, I am testing them now. So, hope to push later today or tomorrow.
(Spoiler: there is going to be French translation for the whole browser too)
Page reload. Yes, you can reload. On the phone make a long press anywhere on the page or on the toolbar and you should get a context menu with options, including reload, back, forward and password management unlock. If you can't get the menu, please let me know.
On an external screen there are regular toolbar buttons for back, forward and reload, and the same context menu is available by the mouse right click.

Bookmarks. Yes, you can easily save active page as a bookmark, for that just open the Tabs Panel and find your active tab. Find a button with left-arrow icon and click it. It is right before Close Button. It should open a number of additional buttons, which are:

hide buttons back,
pin the tab,
add it to bookmarks,
clean all site data and then close the tab,
just close the tab.

As well, you can add or edit bookmarks, import and export bookmarks, doing it directly on Bookmarks page. Just tap the Bookmark button on the top of Tabs Panel and explore buttons and context menu there.
(Spoiler: there is going to be new tabs search functionality in the new release)

Earth rotation. Here you found a case. I have to investigate it. The browser doesn't depend on QT at all, it has Electron/Chromium under the hood. But right at the moment I have no answer to this question. Will explore it later. Thanks for this reporting.

@naz.R Thank you for your answers and future improvements. I will notify you of any points not understood on my part or anomalies.

As a future request I submit to you the idea of including (if possible) a DNS switcher as do firefox mobile.

@naz.r Keyboard doesn't work for me in duckduckgo search box

naz.R

@domubpkm thanks for letting me know, I really appreciate it.
I am going to release my updates tomorrow, hope all keyboard issues will be resolved there.

As a quick workaround you can type your search request directly into the address field and press Enter. It will pass the request into DuckDuckGo engine.
