Full summary

An Experimental Browser UI that runs in Google Chrome.

This App is mostly an experiment to think about web browser UIs in a bit of a different way.

Key Features:

• A tree structure for managing your tabs (that you can choose to hide) (like tree style tabs / treetabs for firefox). • No distinction between bookmarks and tabs. • Ability to rename tabs. • Ability to "pin" tabs to prevent accidentally navigating away / closing. • Not all tabs need to be loaded at once (they are loaded when you want them to be, and marked with a tick. You can also unload tabs to free up memory without fully closing them). • Ability to clour-code tabs. • Completely Open Source - https://github.com/samlanning/leaf-browser

A GNU/GPL telnet client for connecting to BBS site ptt.cc

New in 1.5:

  • switch to use sockets.tcp API from the deprecated socket API.
  • setKeepAlive to improve disconnecting issues, append ?keepAlive=(seconds)
  • use browser API's openTab so that clicking on app icon will open in chrome tab instead of in default browser.

In 1.4:

  • used a new default font file (MingLiUNoGlyph) to replace symmingliu
  • For SSH connection, append ?ssh=true to the url.
  • Blacklist can now load/backup with Google Drive documents.
  • Large blacklist is saved locally only, no sync, you'll need to use Google Drive.
  • Settings to automatically reply to duplicated logins (in Autologins settings tab).
  • Live article helper added to context menu, can use alt + r to toggle.
  • Switching easy reading mode in settings no longer require a restart.
