tbuckley / brakes Goto Github PK

Currently it's impossible to get the current URL to share it. Not sure if Brakes should have this feature.

brakes has a great name, now it needs a great icon

What I want to still be able to do:

• open a Hacker News or Reddit thread if someone sends me it in an email
• open a specific Reddit or hacker news thread if I find it in search results (e.g. I'm searching google for "MEAN Stack" and see an HN thread on it).
• still use google search on my phone to find things like yelp reviews or one box answers

What I don't want to be able to do

• go to Google Search, type in "Hacker News", and get to the front page.

How about a blacklist of sites that you can't open from Google Search
Or a blacklist of regexes for URLs, such that I can open any specific reddit thread but not reddit.com or reddit.com/r/______ but can open reddit.com/r/_____/comments/kjakejrklenare

If you

1. Click a Google Docs link
2. Brakes opens and displays the web version of Docs
3. A pop-up appears at bottom of screen asking if I'd like to open in the Docs app
4. Hit open and you get this error

I'd expect

1. Docs app to open immediately when I click a Docs link (somehow, this works with my other browsers)
2. Not to get the error when the webview prompts me to open in the app (this could actually be a Docs bug I guess)

Ideally would have a new developer account for brakes. Is that $30?

Maybe a setting, but users should be able to disable clicking links so that they can view shared URLs but not browse further.

Without a progress bar it's hard to know if the page is stuck or is still loading.

When you have a page open, its title is more useful for identifying the app than "Brakes".

It might also be worth showing the URL for security.

Right now the webview doesn't support pinch-to-zoom.
