Im mid process of making a new phone that relies on layering and Iframes.
Each page being its own html, css, js, client and server code to act as an app, after selecting from the home screen.
I still have a way’s to go before I release it, however if you wanted to read the original topic I made asking for opinions etc, please find that post Here.
I wish for this post to potentially help line up some testers for a bit of pre-release action before we open it up to the wider community.
Again, any 2cents, please use the discussion thread mentioned above.
Holla below if you would like to halp me test for some bananas.
Thanks, that was more of a concept design I whipped up with Xara Web Design thanks to humble bundle.
Just redoing from the ground up to put it into practice.
Currently have the base and a template for apps.
Just need to do another week or two while doing that work grind and hopefully it’s in a place I feel comfortable in sharing out.
I’m aiming to have the call, message, contact list, bank app and phone settings.
It’ll come with a template to build individual addons than can just snap in, based on JS functions to automatically populate the home screen with png/app added in.
True drag and drop/open source… Or at least. The idea and concept of it.
Nice work ! if you want some advice I think it would be nice to add a camera and allow to send photos at contacts (This is something that is missing from gcphone)
I’ve been meaning to find the time to explore JS frameworks in general, but I think they will just do my head in… (Stronger on the Python and Lua), I’ll try and just stick with vanilla JS and JQuery.
I might give up on having it auto find apps, until either I upskill myself in NodeJS or someone donates a section of code to do so based on client connection to server to alter and insert into the HTML DOM based on the apps/addons it finds within its directory.
