Building a lightweight, private and beautiful browser
Hey everyone! Quick update on our browser project.
@adri_3763 and I spent the past week testing it on Linux VMs, fixing bugs and making a few improvements.
It took a bit longer than we planned. The VMs were very slow most of the time, and we both had a busy week outside of coding too.
Anyway, everything is running smoothly now. There are still some things we want to improve, but overall we’re happy with how it’s going.
Feel free to try it and let us know what you think. Byee!
Hey guys!
We are excited to announce that we made it.
After solving those final bugs, refining a few features and running a lot of tests, we are almost ready to ship it.
We add a lot of effort
Can’t wait to hear your feedback!
Hi guys,After a long break at the start of the month and a period of hard work, we finally fixed many bugs that were present in the browser. First of all, @adri_3763 and I added memory to the AI to make it smart so it can remember things. We added ad blockers too and the ability to set a personalized wallpaper. We added a button to copy the link from the search bar. On the homepage, we optimized the section for favorite websites and the media players. In the end we made some tests and optimized the code with AI to make it run smoothly and prevent lag. We are now ready to submit the work we did with so much effort. Thanks for everything, and I hope y’all will support us!
Hello everyone!
During the last few days I’ve been focusing on improving the overall look and feel of the browser.
I redesigned the UI to make it cleaner and more consistent while also giving the AI panel a completely new style that matches the rest of the interface.
I also added smooth animations to the windows, making transitions feel much more polished.
I fixed several bugs in the browser dropdown menu that appeared after the recent UI changes.
I also resolved multiple issues affecting the window control buttons which had broken during the various interface updates.
Meanwhile @adri_3763 is still working on the backend and is currently focused on improving the setup interface.
That’s all for now.
See you in the next devlog.
Hello everyone!
During the last few days I’ve been focusing on adding new elements to the UI. I implemented the main browser dropdown menu, which now includes all the standard options like Zoom controls and add a New Tab. I also built the new tab start page. It now features a greeting message and a row of quick-access shortcuts for websites like Google, GitHub, and YouTube.
The AI chat window is now fully styled and integrated into the right sidebar. It includes the active chat view and an input field that supports both text messages and image dragging. Meanwhile, @adri_3763 is still working on the backend but now he is focused on the part of the setup interface and he is still improving it.
That’s all for now. Thank you for reading
Hello everyone!During the last few days I’ve been mainly working on improving the app and cleaning up some of the problems we had. A big part of my time went into fixing the window movement and making the UI feel smoother. I also worked on the tabs system and added the ability to drag them around. It took longer than expected because there were some annoying crashes that kept showing up, but after a lot of debugging everything is finally working much better.I also helped with some of the issues we had while sharing and syncing files through Git. We had a few errors that slowed our progress, but we managed to get past them.Right now I’m focusing more on the AI part of the project. I’m styling the AI window and preparing everything needed to integrate it into the search system. Meanwhile, @Adri_3763 has been working on other parts of the app, and we’ve been trying to put everything together step by step.There is still a lot to do, especially with the backend. Some parts are taking more time than expected, but the project is slowly coming together.That’s all for now. Thank you for reading
Hello everyone,
Yesterday and today, my friend @adri_3763 and I worked together at the library for 8 hours each day on our project. Our goal is to build a fast, secure, and beautiful browser.
We decided to collaborate on the same files and divided the tasks: Adrian designed the front page, while I worked on the window controls.
We ran into several issues, especially with the UI and broken code. I was not able to complete my part of the project because I encountered many bugs. Currently, I am working on making it possible to run the application on MacOS. However, we supported each other and used AI to solve the problems. In the next few days, I will start fixing everything.
Our next steps are to fix the bugs in the window controls, refine the UI, and if possible, begin working on the backend.
This project is completely new to us. We are learning new languages like Svelte, learning how to collaborate, and discovering how to create applications.
Thanks for reading.
