Are there any desktop 4chan clients? Could you just read the

Why don't you create one using electron and coffee script or whatever they call it ? If it has cool features better or equal to 4chanx those of us with powerful computers here (30% of users) can use it.

>Are there any desktop 4chan clients?
There's a few on Github like https://github.com/talisein/Horizon

>Could you just read the API? Is that how 4chan apps do it?
Yes for getting posts, catalogue, index pages, etc. the API is used. For posting though it's really hacky (see clover) as the API doesn't support it.

>All images are downloaded to disk (~/.local/share/horizon, or your equivalent XDG location). Browsing /a/ for a week has consumed 1G of space.
hmm
How does Clover do posting? Is it the captcha that makes it hacky?

>>61486632

>Would you be interested in such a thing?

Yes. I would love one for osx with vertical tabs and 4chan-x.

>>61486895
Was actually thinking of writing one in Swift and starting simple then adding "power user" features as they come up.

>>61486971

That would be cool.

>>61486632
Vaccine is pretty good. Only one I've tried though, so don't know how it compares to others mentioned.

>>61487380
Doesn't seem to allow posting which is a deal breaker.
>>61487405
What's this?

>>61487787
Looks to be a Thinkpad running an Android emulator running a 4chan app.

>>61486632
What movie is that?

>>61487787
x60 with android 7.1 on board with clover
>>61487846
Not an emulatot

Does clover render latex on /sci/?

Where is that gif from?

>>61486971
I'd like that too, would also be glad to help out if it was open source.

What is point

>>61493804
this
4chan works well on a browser, there is no point creating another walled garden

>>61486632
Why is this so hot

>>61493869
It'd be more performant and could have 4chan focused features instead of using a browser extension. How is that a walled garden?

>>61486971
>>61490121
Would Webm playback be issue?

>>61487787
a mistake

>>61493913
Jesus H. Christ. Go Fucking wall yourself in a garden you grade A retardotron.

>>61487787
>posting on 4chan
whats your fucking problem

>>61495080
How is it a walled garden???

>Not an argument

Yeah sure, good idea to create a """app""" for only one website, why not create one for each website you go to? Sound like a good idea right?
web shits stay on web browsers, period.

>>61495311
>>61495322
If web techs were designed for efficiency and performance, why not.
But we're at the exact opposite atm.
Don't bother bringing web techs outside a browser.

>>61495408
>If web techs were designed for efficiency and performance, why not.
What? It's just a read only api that returns json.
Clearly you can render this and more threads using less memory running a native app tailored for it.
>>61495363
>"""app"""
Why the quotes?

>>61493935
Natively yes, AVKit does not support WebM. Could use some other playback engine though (libmpv?)

>>61486632
OwO what's this?

>>61495510
>Clearly you can render this and more threads using less memory running a native app tailored for it.
Yes you can, but you won't because using a garbage js framework is easier and no one will do it anyway.

>>61495579
The point of the thread is to do that. It's not like it's that hard.

>>61495615
I don't have any hopes in /g/-driven projects.

>>61486752
It sounds really promising but, last commit was 2012

>>61495656
I'll be mainly making it for myself, just wanted to see what was out there.

>>61486700
>those of us with powerful computers here (30% of users) can use it.
Electron isn't actually that bad, as long as you don't bloat everything with a shitton of javascript. And it actually makes some sense to include a browser engine when part of your application is displaying a webpage.

I have no problem running Chrome, Spotify (chrome-based), VS Code (Electron), and my own Electron app all at the same time on a shitty macbook air.

>>61496226
What's your app?

>>61496291
A streaming app that scrapes stuff from solarmovie

>>61495363
>one for each website you go to

But this is the only website I go to.

If used them as much as 4chan sure.

I guess it could be useful at work.
