Description
I was working on adding support for additional browsers (Brave, Edge, Opera, Vivaldi, Arc) to grroxy. While the backend implementation in Go is ready, I've run into a major blocker regarding the frontend.
Currently, the grx/frontend and cmd/electron/src/frontend directories seem to rely on a compiled bundle from an external package called cybernetic-ui. The main UI logic and browser definitions are hardcoded inside the compiled dist/ assets (specifically within a pd constant in the minified index-*.js files).
The Problems:
- Contribution Blocked: Since the source code for the UI components and the cybernetic-ui package is missing from the repository, it's impossible for the community to contribute to the frontend or fix UI bugs without patching minified JS.
- UI/API Disconnect: The backend already has a /api/proxy/browsers endpoint that provides the supported browser list, but the UI ignores this and uses the hardcoded list in the compiled bundle.
- Fragility: Any manual patches to the dist files are wiped out if the frontend is rebuilt.
Suggested Fixes:
- Expose Source: Include the source code for the frontend components and the cybernetic-ui package in the repository (or as a public submodule).
- Dynamic UI: Refactor the frontend to dynamically fetch the browser list from the backend API instead of using hardcoded values in the UI package.
Making the frontend source available would be a huge help for anyone looking to help expand grroxy's capabilities!
