To do

Quality of life:

• Document creating new applications, e.g., as in Asana for Linux
• Add list of similar projects: https://github.com/qutebrowser/qutebrowser#similar-projects
  • Compare against rose
  • Compare against surf
• Set webkit_web_context_set_sandbox_enabled, as recommended here
• Use something other than Whatsapp as an example syslink.
• Fix bug about distorted audio. Maybe related to this pipewire issue?
• Upgrade to GTK-4 / Webkitgtk 6.0? Will take a fair amount of time, since these are not available on Ubuntu 20.04.
  • Instructions for webkit-6.0 here
  • Instructions for GTK-4 here
  • Update to webkit2gtk-4.1
  • Prepare for GTK-3 to GTK-4 transition
    • Understand wtf is going on with signals and events: https://docs.gtk.org/gtk4/migrating-3to4.html#stop-using-gtkwidget-event-signals. https://github.com/mini-rose/rose-browser/blob/288bf060d095c4895946669ae50d14193168b69c/src/window.c#L42
  • Remove webkit2gtk-4.1 and download webkit2gtk-6.0
  • Attempt to compile
  • Change README and point to last Ubuntu 20.04 commit

Previously done

• Doesn't work with when Spanish is selected as the language, for some reason => Previously misdiagnosed. The real issue was that it freezes when interacting with Espanso substitutions, which I had set-up automatically on my machine when using words containing an ñ, like my own name, Nuño.
• Add css for js alerts
  • Add custom alert whose css can be customized
  • Debug problems, e.g., this version is non-blocking. => will leave as is
• Figure out better way to have plugins => stand_in code seems superfluous
• Double check newtab/next-tab behavior => custom style now loading correctly.
• Add a shortcut for hiding the search tab. => Already exists: Ctrl+K
• Find out what each of the css elements refers to. => done, see make inspect
• Figure out if downloading files is doable. => it is
• Look at using relative rather than absolute paths for configuration. => now makefile is a bit smarter
• Streamline installation a bit
  • Substitute paths in makefile
  • Create cache directory automatically
• Add an installation video walkthrough. Done, here
• Document stand_in.c better
• Use a makefile.
  • Add clean, uninstall to makefile
• Mask user agent
• Launch with more than one tab from command line
• Figure out merge with upstream
• String substitution on uri in order to redirect to better frontends.
• Present "standard" browser keybindings as an alternative.
• Fix zoom in new tab
• Reader mode
• Add reader mode to config.def.
• Make tab bar slightly prettier.
• Add "open in new window" functionality.
  • Useful for opening links in new tab when clicking on them and selecting that option
  • And for actually opening links with the href new_tab option.
  • Links: 1, 2, 3, 4
