nw.js-iframe-browser

NW.JS comes with a toolbar that has some browser functionality to start with. But what if you want to customize the UI and keep node scripts separate from the websites? I have distilled this project down to a simple browser in order to try and resolve some of the issues with making a browser out of an iframe.

It uses the following NW.JS Features:

  • frameless window
  • iframes with:
    1. custom user agent
    2. fake top (no frame breaking)
    3. no node.js privileges
  • system tray icon with menu
  • custom UI

Issues

  • haven't had time to get location bar entry working well.
  • have a search engine setting
  • more testing and some more issues will crop up.
  • multiple tab support?
  • Remember window location on restart
  • disabled back/forward buttons if no ability to do so

(probably lots not listed)
