UX/UI/URI improvements proposal #870
Comments
Can you clarify what you mean by this? Something like
Agreed. Ideally, we'd have an sidebar menu similar to novnc for maximised/fullscreen.
Sure, why not. Agree on in-memory state saving/restoring, too. Or even in localStorage. |
from #870 (comment):
I have some doubts that localStorage is not particularly suitable for this, because there is a maximum limit of 5 MB per webpage. IndexedDB and OPFS seem to have no such restrictions. |

I would be happy to share some more feedback on this project every once in a while. At one point I had a kind of vision of what v86 could turn into and that vision is big and requiring just a few initial improvements to get started on that path. Please leave a voice message at my WhatsApp here: I will definitely reply with additional feedback. My main points are as above. |
I read #448 and that might be one way to do it. Maybe the URL will get super long if there are a lot of settings? Or maybe it would work. |
Hi,
I'm The Dwarf, a very friendly guy : )
I have the following suggestions and improvement proposals.
Auto-loading state URI scheme. This would be soooooooo useful. Example:
User points browser to http://website.com/v86/v86statexyz and the state loads automatically.
Open maximized. It should be possible to make the Terminal window fill the whole screen without that frankly not-so-great looking button tool bar at the top. Just the Terminal covering the whole screen. Not full screen but the full width of the browser real estate.
Save and load state shortcuts. And shortcuts in general. For those of use that want to hide the menu it should be possible to load and save the state using shortcuts. A quickload and quicksave option would also be really useful and even improve on the real Linux OS's that don't provide state > bin file functionality as far as I know.
OS:
https://copy.sh/v86/?profile=buildroot
This is the best OS I have tried so far. It's small, loads relatively fast and has Internet access.
I also offer a bounty of 1 Astral token on Polygon and 1 custom NFT for anyone that completes the above points successfully.
I test a lot of apps and I know when I'm right. My design suggestions above should be implemented to facilitate the mainstreaming of v86.
