Throw some HUD buttons on there.

Olivier Charavel · Mar 10, 2008 1:27 pm

^ Yup.

But I don't really understand the need for this. Could you explain why you're making this ?

diesel · Mar 10, 2008 1:30 pm

Sorry, I can't
HUD buttons, I know. WIP…

Seems like a novel idea - I can see how you could use a mobile version of a web app in it as a handy little window. Think Digg iPhone, for example.

I personally could use a lightweight browser (with tabs) in a hud style window for use with schoolwork and can envision using such an app at work. Keep up the app, throw in some hud buttons, make it tabbable, and it will rock!

Also I guess if you don't have a mobile device but you want to test your website on a mobile browser. Well, that iPhone simulator would work fine for that too though...
Still a neat idea.

Tendo · Mar 10, 2008 3:26 pm

ooh a mini browser, I like the idea.

How about Device Browser...

I love this idea. It works for me.

Jon · Mar 11, 2008 4:21 pm

I agree with the HUD part. Also, I think it would look cooler if you aligned tabs in a radial formation along the sides.

Max Murphy · Mar 12, 2008 5:49 pm

Do it.
Do it.
Do it!

I seriously think a 'mini browser' would be a good idea.

In Safari's Debug menu, you can set the user agent to Mobile Safari. Any way to get this to do that? Then we can use iPhone sites like Pocket Tweets and it'll look good in a small window!

I thought the user agent thing was sort of implied as a feature.

It's really nice if it's a Mobile Safari for desktop, those web developer will happy with it.

Maybe, using slimmer border would be better.

diesel · Mar 13, 2008 6:23 am

Okay, I try to do what you want… Thank you!

Emanuel · Mar 13, 2008 7:02 am

not a bad idea! keep working it, i think the buttons should be HUD too, like NP said

Hendo · Mar 13, 2008 11:43 am

good idea, very simple to make (no coding required)
If you want tabs your going to need to code though

Heres something I put together in like two minutes, I can send you these hud buttons if you want to use them

Zack Schiller · Mar 13, 2008 11:49 am

I would go with Aperture-HUD style:

That would be much much much cooler. Aperture HUD all the way please

androvski · Mar 13, 2008 12:25 pm

Awesome stuff man, I can really see a good use for this. I often type while reading a web page and it's really annoying to be constantly using Exposé to switch windows

Here's a quick template I made.

Hendo · Mar 13, 2008 2:10 pm

awesome, thanks

These aren't very easy to resize though...
Could you make some that are 42x20 please?

Just the buttons, not the tabs
