just added a font file cache commit to my repo. New to this newer C++ stuff. Save .5s on a 6.5s DOM (large endchan thread)

Already gave my opinion on lainchan.org: should have more focus on privsep, sandboxing, W^X, non-deterministic PRNG (arc4random) and, maybe, formal proof and verification (easier with dependent-type language and a model with UML).

I amm using link2 now. So I like what the other anon mentioned about sandboxing. Now links and links2 have default modes that are simular to elinks and w3m. However the graphics mode launches a new window. Shouldn't this not have a default text mode and initially launch through sandboxed filesystem and portability?

>>8795
I would agree. I enjoy link2 and I think endjail.sh from /os/ is a good placeholder. Also https://github.com/adtac/fssb is a good insulator.

I need to stay in my lane here but as a frequent user of links2 I immediatly notice an issue with file upload and have not tried manually linking the full path to the file instead of selecting from a popup window or dragging and dropping. I looked over the goals/ideal features. and I hope there will be like a user.js or prefs.js to configure and add features. .

I noticed that the block bypass works in links. Initially it did not work when the block bypass was first enforced.I think it was a strict header policy or something that made it redirect to the accounts.js login page.

Also you can not log into an endchan account on links but you can post text posts. Some of the limits I noticed so far. Also there is an issue where the program has to be restarted after you make a post because you can not update posts in threads even after posting a new reply you have to restart the browser to see the updated index. Same thing if you fail the block bypass or the captcha expires you can not reload a new caotcha image

8/6-10 Progress report

If you haven't been following along on our YouTube Channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCes2uiC-4xSBwqnldCFbh4Q or Twitter @Team_NetRunner here's the latest:

- Input box can take input when selected
- Input box scrolls text when it hits width
- Iframe document widget created and logic for page scrolling is moved inside (tabbed browser is likely by the end of the month)
- moved anime girl from source to external file (pnm unsupported P8 RGBA)
- refactoring opengl bits out of the components, so we can work towards a framebuffer solution
- We now have a working address bar (forward/back buttons likely next week)

The iframe refactor has broken resizing and made the scroll choppy, so I'm not releasing any new binaries until we're back on par with the existing releases. You're always welcome to compile your own.

That's not the problem with links2. CSS is cancer.
The problems with links2 is that it has not preventive security measures by default, such as privsep, sandbox, etc.
It also could adhoc with youtube-dl and an external player, so we could directly play media.
Another problem is keybinding. There's none.

If someone address that problems in links2 (and clean the messy code, obviously), that would be a fantastic browser.
I had this project myself (although I would reconstruct it in a dependent-type language or Lambda-Prolog), but I'm too immature to do it (yet).

You can make this easy and without having to work twice where other people already leave its contribution, that is what the unix philosophy is about. Reuse other applications like curl/wget to make connections. Keep your your work at rendering engine but base off common unix tools and make it a frontend to all of those.

Elinks lets you change key bindings and make custom scripts, so it's probably possible to have it run youtube-dl and mplayer from a youtube link.
It doesn't display images inline though, but relies on external viewer (like Lynx).
