But theres some cool stuff happening like Tworaz's work on getting the Chromium engine to work on Sailfish. The showcase browser works better than all the currently developed browsers.

Care to point towardz the bins? Must've been careless and missed it

I think his work + Dax's UI would make something special.

Oh pls no, webcat is far from perfect but out of the two

If anyone does check it out, its best to install all the packages and then restart phone. also theres no UI back button, its just a left or right swipe.(cant remember which side.)

Oh wait, first inbetweenquote was about those, anyone? Would love to check it out (especially some heavy html5 sites, not sure if anyone noticed though that jolla browser is now pretty cool video player, putlocker (or 'their' jwplayer works wonderfully for animations (haven't tried yet with 1.5/2h vids), not only doesn't hog memory like ytplayer used to but coming back from another (even heavy html page, maybe it's adblock) works like a bliss, can't wait for tablet)

knew id forgotten something. and i meant web pirate UI with the engine.

It also has a pretty cool video player that just works, although it use cpu rather than gpu. basically its just the chromium experience on mobile, and for me its pretty smooth.

What do you think IGG Puzzle Phone with Sailfish OS?

Re: Jolla at Slush 2015

I find WebPirate's UI very unfinished, almost amateurish.

It's not beautiful but it is very functional. Sailfish browser is an unfunny joke in just about every respect.

I did not doubt the functionality; I was talking from a look and feel aspect.

Ugly can be functional. Pretty can be downright impractical.

If you have some ideas in order to improve the UI, they are welcome :)

Indeed. Just two words to illustrate it: pulley menus ;)

This is not an inflammatory post. Pulleys are great but not always practical. TJC is full of suggestions how to handle menus in apps with long vertical lists without having to scroll all the way to the top first.

This might sound like a joke, but it is not:
After my IPod touch fell down a few years ago, I just put a layer of wide scotch tape on it, because I couldn't be bothered to get it repaired. Looked pretty MacGyverish, but I got nothing but compliments for it and it saved my fingertips. Worked like a charm and cost me about zero $currencyunit. ;)
