I made this 4chan browser to replace my web browser experience

Only if it runs on linux.

>>61599714
it's written in qt, and i only use linux, so yes, it does. My WM is i3. I have a windows release built, too.

>>61599703
Yes looks cool.

okay, here it is on github: https://github.com/siavash119/qtchan . Sorry no themes just yet, you can open it in qtcreator and change the stylesheets if you want. I'll put themes settings soon.

i don't want to; i just want to get rid of general web browsers all together

Nice. I'm sure it should be a smoother/lighter usability than using Firefox to browse and post on 4chan. Similar to the reason why Clover or OverChan were used over just using the web browser on mobile.

>>61599726
What about a macOS release?

a few keyboard commands and instructions:
-ctrl+l opens up the nav bar; you can type g or g/boardnum or /g/ or http://board.4chan... etc
-ctrl+w (ctrl+f4 on windows) or delete to close tab
-ctrl+p opens settings
-ctrl+tab ctrl+shift+tab, ctrl+1-4 to switch tabs.
-q opens up post form, shift+enter to post from there
-e expands all images and auto expands future posts on current tab

need to restart qtchan if changing to use 4chan pass or not. signals/slots still not finished for that.

>>61599888
sorry Kevin, no Solus specific release either. Build it yourself; the source was posted earlier

>>61599880
yeah it's certainly replaced my web browser experience for this site. i also like that it auto saves the json and thumbs/images with original names, like your own archive.

cool, ill download your botnet, op. thanks!

>>61599922
I might be able to package it for Solus, but idk about macOS.

>>61599999
why are you switching to macos ?
why not install solus on mcbook pro ?

What about adding the 4chan-x script?

>>61599726
where can i find the windows release, siavashson?

>>61599970
holy fuck thats cool!
where's the github?

>>61600015
no javascript; this program just parses JSON from 4chan, downloads images, and puts everything in views/folders.

>>61600055
https://github.com/siavash119/qtchan/releases
please let me know if it works; I'm not sure if there are other dependencies I missed.

>>61600087
Nice!!
Someone get this in AUR please.

>>61600072
that file browser is just pcmanfm, but qtchan does save it in the folders like that

>>61600055
https://github.com/siavash119/qtchan/releases/download/v0.7/qtchan.zip is a direct link i think

>>61600105
could you link me if someone does it? i built with qtcreator using qt5, but it uses shared libraries. I'm looking into a static build as well.

normies use Windows.

>>61600188
browsers have completely overstepped their boundaries and have tried to become full blown OS's. My first impression of this was when browsers could play videos: I thought, why does my browser need to play a video? I already have a dedicated player that's better! anyway this is another discussion.

maybe next i'll do the stack sites (stackoverflow, servervault, etc.) or maybe youtube/vimeo.

>>61600232
okay good, now press ctrl+l and the nav bar will pop up, type in your search for example (g, g/csg, pol, /pol/) and hit enter

>>61600240
Dude it really is. I got a refurbed 13 inch with the touch bar and touch id with 8gb ram and 250gb flash storage. This thing is amazing and I think it's definitely worth the money. Also the keyboard and trackpad is really nice, and this battery lasts for-fucking-ever.

>plebbit
>chromeshit
for fucks sake, you have macOS now and have Safari. it's by far the fastest browser I've ever tried and it uses the least amount of battery. it's also smooth as butter and has PiP etc. quit using chromeshit.

>>61600256
thx. it is working. pretty qt, if i do say so myself.

>>61600280
But Chrome has all my extensions and the google account integration is nice. Why should I really use Safari over it?

sorry it's not so user friendly yet.

>>61600300
glad to hear. there are a few instructions i just added here: https://github.com/siavash119/qtchan#a-few-keyboard-commands-and-instructions

a few more are
f10 saves tree state (it'll also save on exit)
f11 hides menubar
j and k scroll (opposite of standard vim)
o opens image in top of view
if you have mpv, g opens all the images/videos in the thread.

>>61600331
this happens when i try to click into a thread. specifically, clicking on post #

>>61600329
>Why should I really use Safari over it?
it has tons of extensions too. all the major ones are there. Safari's fast, uses least amount of battery, scrolls the best, supports gestures, and it's not a botnet.

>>61600331
ahh, how did it happen? i wanted to make sure there weren't any crashes or major problems before I shared it, but I guess there are still some.

>>61600351
okay thanks, i'll look right now. for now click the image to open the thread

>>61600339
dont be sorry, friend. i prefer it this way. will keep the normies out. reeeeee

>>61600365
clicking the image does nothing, sir

>>61600358
Chrome has the gesture support of using the 2 finger side scroll to go forward and back pages. Gonna try out Safari, thanks.

>>61600386
wait nevermind, i see now. clicking image opens thread in tree, but doesnt take you to it right away

maybe the arrow is difficult to see in windows, but there should be a little arrow you can click to the left of /g/ to expand the tree

>>61599703
This looks great. 4chanX compatibility would be nice.

>>61600429
can you post without a 4chan pass? if so, how does that work with captcha?

>>61600331
okay i pushed a quick fix, thanks a lot for telling me. it's not in the release, though.

>>61600464
oh in terms of importing settings? that's a really good idea. i'll do it.

in qtchan it's like >>61599838

yeah if you set not to use 4chan pass in settings (open settings with ctrl+p), you have to restart qtchan. i'll double check on windows now.

might have to restart twice, but it works and will continue to work after settings are saved and it loads correctly. I'll have it so you don't have to restart soon. Also you can click the captcha image to get a new one

>>61600599
this post was made from qtchan on windows 10. however i cannot get captcha to regenerate. clocking captcha shows a new captcha, but typing it does not work. also, now captcha stopped showimg up completely again. i have changed no settings

>>61600644
i'll stop using my pass and post with captcha to try to reproduce the problem.

>>61600644
>>61600661
remember it doesn't check if the captcha has timed out. i think it's 180 seconds once you get the image.

>>61600644
i have to go soon, but i'll make another thread tomorrow or so and fix the problems. I understand posting with captcha is essential for many to use this program.

>>61600256
I've had similar thoughts after trying 4chan X with greasemonkey I was impressed by how much can be done by using the site's own api that the site's javascript would have used but without actually running their javascript.

>>61601280
yes it does; look at github for instructions how to make the pass file.

>>61601775
i do that, but think of the wasted resources implementing video playing into the browser

>>61602023
yeah, i haven't fixed it yet; it's under known issues in the release.

>>61602023
>>61602372
typing "/g/" gives you the whole catalog; just type g to get the first page. it works fine, then

>>61601043
maybe, but in the meantime, I'll separate the links and parsing into another class which should make the code more modular. Right now it's tied into the board and thread tabs.

>>61601080
got it; i can easily set it up to scale everything, but you need to restart to change the scaling. I'll get that at least for now.

Oh yes. I have something similar build for a certain german imageboard.
Will make it 4chin compatible this weekend, although just in browsing mode. Need to find a good way to implement posting.

it's interesting but unless it can replace 4chan x in terms of functionality I'll pass.

After 4chan, you planing to make this compatible with other popular chans? Or modules to load other chans and archives like Dashchan does.

>>61604045

I looked and I actually separated it a bit already. should be pretty straight forward to implement other chans and archives.

My next priorities, though, are implementing a good filtering system and more intuitive setup and settings.
