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
Installed. Thanks! Seems slick.
If I may make a suggestion, consider adding a simple blacklist with the same formatting as this: https://github.com/iorate/ublacklist
If not integrating it directly?
This would filter SEO and AI slop from search results, which, in my experience wastes a huge fraction of my page loading bandwidth.
There’s also this, in the same vein, for wikis: https://github.com/wiki-gg-oss/redirect-extension
I don’t mean to make demands; I love the app as is. But URL and search results filtering seem like relatively simple features that could save a a ton of bandwidth; low hanging fruit, if you will.
I've implemented an ad blocking feature and a search engine result blocker by list or by domain :)
I'll consider this in the next few test builds. Thank you! :)
