Title: Stand Alone PC , Mac , Linux BitcoinTalk Application
Post by: Allution on August 05, 2015, 01:19:49 PM
Hello guys,

I am about to create a stand alone application to browse through BitcoinTalk forum.

So i do not have to open google chrome for example to browse BitcoinTalk forum.
It will be an application only for this forum.

Does this sound good to you?

Would you use it?

If yes i could make it in the next few days.

Kind Regards

Allution

Edit

Hello BitcoinTalk Community

In the past few months, i learnt a lot from this community. Today, i want to give back.  ;)

Intro


I created a stand alone programs which is used spesifically for the Bitcoin Talk forum. No google chrome or any other browser is needed.
Here is a screenshot of the program.

The program was created by me, Allution.


Download the software and the source code here:  https://www.dropbox.com/sh/mcvzu23wektof2n/AAALbcHS4-kUVki-mUts0r6aa?dl=0 (https://www.dropbox.com/sh/mcvzu23wektof2n/AAALbcHS4-kUVki-mUts0r6aa?dl=0)

I'm not really sure if i will use your application, because it's not efficient, i usually browse other site/site related bitcoin. So if i only can open this forum, this not my style haha.

Hello,

In the upcoming days, i will create a Windows Stand Alone for the Bitcoin Talk and i will upload it here.

I have created 2 other Stand Alone but currently, i do not want to share it. Maybe in the future.  :)

hopefully the speed of it will be as fast as the web interface which I can even use with a very slow internet :)

The speed will be equal or greater than a web interface.

I don't know. Using this sounds like a risk. I mean i would reveal my private messages and all to the author since it would be possible that these details got leaked.

By the way... i don't see the usecase yet. There are browsers on normal pc's as well as on smartphones. So why using that app?

What are the pro's to use it like a app instead of browsing to the website?

One less tab in Chrome? I'll stick to the way that works fine :)

If you're going to have quick options at the top, then rather remove them from the bar.
"Home         Help    Search    Donate    Profile    My Messages    Members    Logout"    
Sorry for the harsh criticism but I do not see the point to this, it should have extra functionality if you're going to have a desktop app. I could just create a url shortcut and open it there for quick and easy access.

My advice to you,
                               add an offline cache
                               allow for customization of the current theme
                               Look and use some of the functions used in jackjack's bitcointalk+ script

Eh. I would not use it.

It lacks security that a web browser would have. Just one of the many reasons not to use this.

okay, is it open source? How do I know it won't steal my account data or even worse - my wallets?

and why should I use this app instead of chrome?

Hello guys,

Yes it is open source. Download the software and the source code here:  https://www.dropbox.com/sh/mcvzu23wektof2n/AAALbcHS4-kUVki-mUts0r6aa?dl=0 (https://www.dropbox.com/sh/mcvzu23wektof2n/AAALbcHS4-kUVki-mUts0r6aa?dl=0)

However, i abandoned the project as only a few users are interested on this.

You can do whatever you want with the source code.

It is just a giveaway to the community!

Regards

We understand you but i would prefer you next time is to create a poll and ask people if they would like "this app" to be developed.
Another thing is when you post please consider to post the virustotal scan as most of us are afraid of viruses.

its a good idea, Integrate TOR to this tool so we can browse the forum anonymously
good work  ;)

Through tor i think it is not allowed or if it is you have to pay fee i think from which i have read here.
OP can you develop a feature to test signatures for Jr.member, Member, Full member, Sr.member, Hero.

Prodigy8 feel free to take the source code and customize it to your needs. I do not have the time to do it as i am developing a new project in the Deep Web.

Here is the Virus Total scan for the application as requested.

Alright it's clean :) Thanks.
I just want to tell you to take this as a suggestion for the future project to post the virus total too. It's a good behavior for a developer. And don't forget my other suggestion about the polls. Good luck in your next projects.
