It will be great if individual apps can have location access. So that google maps or open street maps can work.

Is it possible to get a Nougat / Android 7 - Version ?

I'm using this to create an android version of Revolt, but the file picker doesn't open.

Hi! It would be really great to have an option to set a custom name for each Web App that is listed in the app. That's a simple request but really useful for me! :)
Thank for your work and keep thing great!!

Would be great if we could have a search button to easier access the various PWAs created

Please, add a global option to always accept untrust SSL certificate.

Good morning, I was trying to use pixelfed but I can't load content from NativeA in any way. I also tried to grant media read permissions but nothing, possible bug in the app or pixelfed incompatibility.

Great app but there is one showstopper which prevents it from being use for our customers.
It seems the URI is converted to lowercase.
Would be great if this could be configured via setting.
In our case an authentication key which is set in the URL is case sensitive and as such it will never work.

Hi!

I'm going to open this ticket, although there is now a workaround ( #37 ) it would be nice to get to the root cause on why on some smartphones every website shows SSL certificate errors.

I've tested the latest version of Native Alpha, both on LineageOS and crDroid. These are clean installation of the roms, with no google libraries installed.

The logs show errors like these:

11-29 18:38:16.782 E/chromium(28787): [ERROR:ssl_client_socket_impl.cc(976)] handshake failed; returned -1, SSL error code 1, net_error -202

Webview implementation: Android System WebView 95..0.4638.50

Currently if you are logged into a website if you create another instance of that same website it will also be logged in the same account as the first instance.

Would it be possible to add the ability for users to log into more than one instance of a service at the same time? This would be particularly useful to websites such as reddit, twitter, pinterest, etc where users may have more than one account. It is the case for me at least, and this would be very helpful.

I am unsure if sandboxing can be achieved via the Android WebView, but I have my fingers crossed, as I believe this would improve the already great UX of the app.

The pinch-to-zoom in/out is not working on sites. Although most sites are readable, this is causing a problem with sites that are using a map. For example:
www.prettigparkeren.nl
www.openstreetmap.org

The 'prettigparkeren' site is using a map from openstreetmap, so maybe other sites using a map from openstreetmap have the same issue. Pinch-to-zoom does work on Google Maps.

When I create an icon using Native Alpha on my phone (Samsung S10, not sure which launcher) it works fine. But when I create the same icon on a tablet running the Agama launcher no icon appears.

Is there anything I can troubleshoot? Or does this not work with some launchers?

Could you please implement reading mode option? Would be really helpful for websites like Wikipedia.

Add share feature.
Add context menu when we share from other apps to this apps. Download feature also.

An option to short alphabetical can be useful, especially when are a lot of pages.

Sorry for my English.

Why have https adblock filter
Because a lot of websites use https to view advertisement like https://www.cwtv.com/

Been using Adguard to block advertisement in Native Alpha
Works great

Apps like Brave ,Firefox & Adguard
have https filtering

Adguard uses
Adguard Personal CA Certificate
HTTPS filtering in Adguard
https://blog.adguard.com/en/everything-about-https-filtering/
Manual certificate installation
https://kb.adguard.com/en/android/solving-problems/manual-certificate

Brave browser has certificate built in

Firefox has certificate store to import certificates like Adguard

Is any chance to implement automatic page refresh function with choice of time interval?

Is it possible to display pop-ups with the window.open() function in JS ?

All shortcuts currently open with dark mode and some don't support them at all. A dark mode switch for web app would be a great addition since there is no way to override it now.

A support of the sharing function of websites.
For example, sharing to the clipboard does not work on Amazon.

In general, a way that you can always copy the URL would be great. Chromium (Brave) does it via the notifications.

I am having issues login in to Tinder. After I login with facebook, I get stuck in this loop: press Log In -> Log In with Facebook -> Return to initial screen -> Press Log In ...

I am using the Bromite webview, so perhaps that is what is causing the issue? I know Bromite != Bromite webview, but for whatever is worth, I am able to log in to Tinder with Bromite without any issues.

Any advice on what I can do?

Would it be possible to add a "Find in page" function?
It would be a real help to find specific information in long pages.

Hi,
since latest release when opening some websites, I get spammed with "Potential security threat" Warning and even when clicking "Load Anyway", these are always showing when restarting the app and/or when a new page is loaded, its pretty annoying and an option to disable this would be really appreciated! :)

app slow and crashing, YouTube desktop takes too long to load and push notification would be nice

Hi how are you , I really liked the application but I found it lacking a separator , for example creating editable sections , and in one section I put on the video links in another one I put on social network links etc

Opening this issue to further discuss this idea: Have you considered an option to enable Chrome Custom Tabs as a method to display a desired web page?

If you find this option would be a nice addition to NativeAlpha, I'm willing to implement it myself and submit a PR.

When you have a NativeAlpha website loaded and you put it in the background, javascript is still executed. However if the device is put into stand-by javascript execution is still paused after the device is resumed from stand-by. This is a problem with apps syncing states regularly via javascript. As soon as you put the app in the foreground, execution resumes and you can put it in the background again.

This is different e.g. from FireFox which continues javascript execution on loaded tabs after resuming from standby.

The feature to play the videos in background or watch in pip mode when minimized will be helpful.

It would be great to have these options for greater data savings and faster page load.

Awesome app!

Please consider to add a way to bypass URL validation.
I would like to add an local URL without domain and validation is blocking me.

Google is not allowing to sign in and giving message that browser is not secure/supported. Every site which uses gmail for login now I am not able to sign in in those site, if gmail login support come in native alpha then it will be really helpful for people with low specification phone

Hi,

I want to use application with site hosted on my local network (like https://nas/some-path), but application shows the error "Please enter a valid web address":

Nice app you have created congrats and I would love to see it maintained.
The feature I'm asking is present in most full fledged firefox and chromium browser such as bromite, Vivaldi, brave, etc. This helps in browsing the multiple web apps side by side and not reloading every time you open different webapp.
It is problematic that if you switch to a different webapp it discards that site and the new site opens in it's place, would love to see this solved. If you need more information please ask.
(Sorry for bad english not a native speaker)

Thank you.

Tried the url that I use for running python scripts via flask eg. https://domainname:5000/login this url works with chrome and I can create desktop icons and run the app. However, with nativealpha, I just get a blank screen. Using v0.81 on Android 9. Really like your app idea, hope you can resolve this.

I have started to use NativeAlpha for my account on different sites. I would need to change the initial url to the one after login, which is different. Would there be a way to copy the url of the present page for that?
Thank you

Hey,

I think this app should meet the Policy for inclusing in F-Droid. Would you be interested in that? It's an alternative store for Free Software on Android. Inclusion there would make the app more visibile and accessible, I think.

Here are some more resources. Unfortunately I don't know much about the procedures myself.

In the interim, Izzysoft also distributes many Open-Source apps by taking the apks directly from their corresponding repositories, so that might also be worth checking out. But inclusing in Fdroid would still be better.

Thanks a lot!

I use a visualisation (JARVIS) from my ioBroker which is a web page. When I change my phone from portrait to landscape mode (or the other way around) it is loading the whole page again. I compared with the app "WallPaper" where this does not happen. Please make this available in your app as you app is nice for the "like an app" feeling. Many thanks!

Hi folks,

I tried to download and select an icon manually for the webpage https://www.rain-alarm.com/ because an icon could not be retrieved.
So I downloaded https://www.rain-alarm.com/img2/launcher_transparent_white_64.png and tried to set it as an icon.
It is shown in the shortcut icon of the app, but when clicking on the OK button it disappears for the launcher.
I also tried it with a ico file.
When I set the exact same png for a other website, where an icon could be retrieved for example https://check.torproject.org/ it works.

v1.01 from IzzyOnDroid on Android 11 LOS with the Shade launcher.

Thanks for helping.

I need videos Fullscreen For example I played a video from
https://www.cwtv.com/
I clicked Fullscreen button in video player
Nothing happened

While using the refresh gesture and in the future the automatic refresh it is not visible if the site is refreshing right now.
Maybe adding a loading bar above or below the website would make it more visible why the user input is not handled properly.

Another use case:
While on slow internet connection I don't know if my refresh gesture was successful and could happen in to many tries doing a refresh.
Instead the bar will show and I know I have to wait until it finishes.

Optional:

1. defining accent color per app or global, maybe using androids accent color?
2. Using a few pixels for just indicating refresh action and the rest to indicate the progress. Example

This, along with "Save-Data: on" and "image blocking" would help save even more data.
Not to mention the extra privacy benefits...

A gret implementation example is WebApps Sandboxed Browser.

I use Folder Organizer to create folders for my apps, and Nova launcher as my home launcher. Native alpha does not expose itself to either of these applications as an option to create a shortcut from. I can of course use the feature to automatically create a desktop shortcut for Nova launcher, but I don't have the ability to add it from the widgets screen as I can for many other applications. For those websites that are already added in native alpha, would it be possible to add functionality that allows me to create a shortcut in these apps?

I can use the URL ˋhttp://localhost:8888/ˋ because is not a "valid web address"

I've attempted 2 different websites both which have a suitable favicon.ico but get the can't get icon error when attempting to add a shortcut.

Let's say I want all webapps to send the "Save-Data: on" header, block images and cookies by default.
Instead of having to configure them individually, global settings would be much more convenient and efficient.

It would be brilliant if you are able to natively force the Native Alpha webpage to force the screen to stay on and also to not timeout!
Developer options can be used to keep the screen on whilst charging which is good but it still dims after XX minutes due to the timeout feature. Apps have the ability to prevent this so having it an option of NativeAlpha would be awesome.

I might be missing something here, but I really wanted to be able to run multiples of websites (especially facebook for example). When I create another facebook, it loads the previous. This would be really useful for multiple accounts on a system as webapps. Can this be done? And if not, can I ask for this as a feature request. Great little app!

I have just come across your app because I have a need for it for the first time and I actually can't believe that this has not been done before! Well done!

Would it be possible to have the option to open a page in one of the immersive modes? Ideally Sticky Immersive?
Hiding all the menu and status bars from around the screen would make it truly full screen and so very useful to present data from a website on an android device in a really tidy way.

I would also like the idea of forcing the screen to stay awake but I will post another request for this.

Keep up the good work
