Catalyst is about the user, tell me what features YOU want in Catalyst.

[jdev082]

Right now, the top feature in the vote is a built in HTML editor. What side features and improvements do you want to see in Catalyst?

[redstone-dev]

It would be cool if you could do a "bookmarks menu" instead of a bookmarks bar, which would sort of look like Windows 8's Start Screen.

[jdev082]

bookmark tiles ✔️, coming soon! Unfortunately not in v3.4 though, maybe v3.5
also, grids are hard

[redstone-dev]

I can maybe implement it.

[jdev082]

@redstone-scratch added in v3.4

[webdev03]

I would use catalyst if it had some good unique features.
Such as extension support, if it is added then it would be awesome!
Also there could be a Dev mode inside of Catalyst which could start a web server and let you develop HTML, SvelteKit and more inside of your browser using the Monaco editor. The difference between this and cloud-based services would be that it runs on your local machine. Sandboxing might be an issue though.

[jdev082]

These features are getting complicated for single person development. If you can, any help on the built in HTML editor would be appreciated.

[jdev082]

Unfortunately extensions aren't happening though.

Theming engine: add and save custom CSS for websites.

well it does, you just need to change those settings in the createWindow function
so basically just add

createWindow({
// ...
contextIsolation: false,
nodeIntegration: true
// ...
})

This is an insecure way of doing it. Instead, you should use the IPC system.

Not once have i ever gotten IPC to work. If you want security, you do it.

Please just read documentation for once.

just inject a <style> tag and save styles in compressed .css files
to use fs you can disable contextIsolation and enable nodeIntegration

I don't recall the renderer ever having access to npm modules

It DOES, it's just not recommended.

Can i deny the WebView access? It can be a huge security issue otherwise.

Just don't use this approach entirely.

Rather, use the IPC system.

const {ipcMain} = require("electron")

// Later on...

// This should be in `app.whenReady().then()

ipcMain.handle("do-something", (event) => {
    return "this"
})

What do you think i went off of trying get it to work

[TechStudent10]

In my own app, I got it to work.

Please add Ogle Home as a homepage option, and maybe discontinue Catalyst Mobile so that we can be friends and stop competing.
