Edit: There's a beta release in this post.
I don't know why, but I've decided I really want a good, working, web browser on the iLiad. Maybe it's Kindle envy, maybe I spend too much time porting when I should be working, who knows.
WebKit seems to be all the rage these days. They have builds of it for just about every platform, and the iPhone has really brought it into the mainstream. So my goal is to port WebKit to the iLiad and provide a useful interface for browsing.
- It must be able to use the pagebar to page up and down.
- Screen refreshes must not be obtrusive, and should be responsive. (Native refreshes only, no hacked libX11)
- Support for Bookmarks and Recent URL's.
- Easy to install package that can run from anywhere.
I've got Webkit compiled, and I'm using
midori as a front end. Right now, the only page I can visit without it locking up is Google.com. But hopefully with some more bugsquashing, we can have a real, working browser on the iLiad.
