Creating the World2ch dedicated browser (28)

1 Name: Nameless : 2025/08/06 04:37

I think the easiest way to create a dedicated browser is to modify an existing 2ch browser.
I believe a good candidate for modification is JaneXeno: https://janexeno.client.jp/

What will have to be done is the UI translated to English, and the program rewritten to accept
the kareha software. I know it's specific on what kind of textboard softwares it can take.

It's a great project idea

3 Name: Nameless : 2025/08/06 15:18

Horrible idea.

IIRC 2ch stores data in binary format (.dat files).

Kareha stores data in raw HTML.

So you'll need to modify almost everything, except the UI: data transfering logic, converting data formats, translations and God knows what else.

On top of that, JaneXeno is a 15+ year old codebase in fucking Delphi!

Holy mother of PENIS (;ﾟДﾟ)

I'd just create a Qt layout from JaneXeno screenshots (maybe with AI?) and write everything from scratch in modern C++/Python/whatever

Why not make it in Visual Studio? that would be the easiest to code it in

Visual Studio? You mean winforms?

Yup, the hardest part is to make an XML API for the database. After that, you just drag and drop forms together, and write some VB!

9 Name: Nameless : 2025/08/08 04:32

Although it wouldn't be legitimate, is it possible to have the browser just read the html which is the database anyway?

Of course, but like you said, it would be illegitimate.

11 Name: Nameless : 2025/08/09 10:26

I think janexeno may make it's own html output based upon the data files, but I may be wrong. I say this because it displays 5ch threads as if they were still in the old style

Nintendo DS Browser Opera Presto leaked code fork

Any word on the progress as seen on the imageboard?

But will it run on PSP?

15 Name: Nameless : 2025/09/05 03:43

>>14

On PSP?

16 Name: Nameless : 2025/09/07 03:20

On PSP.

>>16
On PSP..

18 Name: Nameless : 2025/09/09 03:22

On Nintendo Switch

Who needs a Switch when you have a PSP?

21 Name: Nameless : 2025/09/12 10:46

Who needs a PSP when you have a paddle ball

22 Name: Nameless : 2025/09/12 11:41

Maybe it could have a feature to paste kaomoji and aa of your selection

23 Name: Nameless : 2025/09/14 05:54

in the spirit of kareha it must be written in perl/Tk

24 Name: Nameless : 2025/10/05 08:37

Can you release the prototype for the browser already?

25 Name: Nameless : 2025/10/05 19:35

Speaking of PSPs, this is the only site i know of that still properly runs on the console and the low res screen gives a very satisfying, sharp look to the site (i’m specifically using a PSP Go). It also supports flash natively so you can watch SWFs in the uploader too.

it should be written in any 90s-2000s GUI language.

27 Name: Nameless : 2025/10/06 23:06

>>26
Do you want that for any reason other than the year?

That's pretty neat. Does posting work as well?
