Hey,
my phone plan (free plan) allows surfing the web for free but with very slow speeds between 32 kbps and 64 kbps. Safari would not load pages and just display website is not reachable due to a timeout. So, I came up with the idea to build a frugal text browser with some nice features that works with my phone plan.
I can disable loading images, media or web fonts. I can set an ad blocking DNS. I can even use LLMs with my slow connection. In settings you can set your own LLM base url and api key. In an emergency situation this is amazing!
I hope other people enjoy it as much as I do. It's completely free.
The app is called Narrow32, search in App Store :)
Btw: The community guided me to !imadethis@lemmy.zip
Hi, I’m trying to test your browser, but I can only visit your DuckDuckGo lite default link,,, and nothing else. No matter trying to tour other URLs into the bar and going there, it flips back to the DuckDuckGo…. What is wrong out what am I doing wrong?
Can you send me the details in private chat, such as a short screen video? It would be also nice to know your iOS version and which version of Narrow32 you're using.
Yeah I’ll send tomorrow pardon, late where I am now. Basically anytime I try to manually enter a url it doesn’t go there, it goes to your default DuckDuckGo page. Am on the latest iOS, just updated a few days app.
I found the issue I believe. Fixing it.
Cool, if fixed I’ll update app and try again
Please try updating and then try again. v1.0.2 is released.
Yay! I type in URLs and successfully go to them, I’ll keep testing and using it, very cool.
I'm glad you like it! :)
