[deprecated] One-Handed focused browser for iOS (similar to new Safari for iOS 15)
Until iOS 14, Safari and basically any major browser for iOS hadn't a proper single-handed usage experience, specially in taller, "notched" devices. This project aimed to develop an easier browser to use in this specific scenario, with an beautifully crafted user interface. Since Apple announced the new Safari in WWDC 2021 with improvements to this use case even with functionalities which aren't covered by this project, I decided to declare it discontinued.
- Vibrancy-enabled statusbar (at first, was tried SwiftUI, but after realizing it doesn't suport webviews, the project switched to UIKit. The vibrancy-enabled view from this project is reusable)
- Bottom, floating addressbar (using a top address bar, even with reachability, is simple horrible in iOS. The bottom addressbar was designed to be easily reachable every time the user needs it)
- Tabs functionality (unfortunatelly, I couldn't find a satisfatory way to implement tabs. The current implementation could fail in some specific scenarios and it was the major frustration in this project. I was spending too much time in just this functionality, delaying all others)
You can use any component of this project. If you decide to fork it entirely and continue from where I stoped, please just reference this repository. I'm relatively new in iOS development and it would help me a lot on my professional path.
