New Web Browser coming soon!

Hello!

You've probably never heard of me but thats because I'm a new member. Anyway, I'm making a web browser, similar to the one that the SWC team are working on. It will hopefully be just as good and maybe end up competing with it. Who knows?

I will hopefully be releasing a very early version soon. Keep an eye out for it!

One more thing, I can't think of a good name for it yet, can anybody think of a good one for me please?

Thanks for viewing this topic!  smile

It now supports custom placement on the page!

Re: New Web Browser coming soon!

Looks good!

Some advice though, don't realease every tiny little change. Make a couple of medium changes or one big change then realease it.

Good luck with the browser.  smile

Thanks for your support! It's much appreciated!

I'll bear that piece of information in mind, thanks for that
in my opinion though, that was a big change for me!   smile

EDIT: Does anybody have any good names for what the browser could be called?

I got a good idea.

If you ran a computer company, what would it be called (not involving your name though).
Think of what products it would realease.
Think of the web browser.

Normally it's wierd things. For example firefox? Maybe they thought of an animals, a fox. A fox is orangy so that is the colour of fire.

Safari, made by apple. What would of they thought of? Who knows, Steve Jobs might of been in Africa when he thought of the name.

Just let your thoughts flow. Just don't be like microsoft and go for something boring like "internet explorer" How unimaginative can you get?  smile

Re: New Web Browser coming soon!

The very first proper version has been released!  smile   smile
It is called LionLight!

At the moment it only has one website but I will add more when the program gets more stable.

See here:

Also I would like some nice graphics for it, and since I am no good at graphics, would someone like to help and make some for me? Thanks.
