New in 0.12.0: DeWEB apps as cards, categories, and share links.

  • DeWEB apps: the new tab page now opens on DeWEB apps (formerly All sites), listed first and shown as cards. A toggle switches back to the list.
  • Logos and covers: cards show logo.png / logo.jpg (square, 256×256 recommended, 512×512 max) or cover.png / cover.jpg (16:10, 640×400) from the site's root folder. Each image must be 50 KB or less. Images are read on demand and checked against their on-chain SHA-256. Without one, the card shows the title's first letter on a gradient.
  • Categories: games, finance, tools, social & content, ecosystem and other, with filter chips. TapeBrowser guesses a category locally from the title, description and page content, and marks it as a guess. Site owners can set it with a web.json in the site root: {"category": "game"}.
  • Share links: the site info panel has a Share link, such as https://trytotapeout.github.io/TapeBrowser/open/?4454.0, that works on X, Telegram and WeChat. People with TapeBrowser go straight to the site; everyone else sees a download page.
  • Tipping from the wallet: circuit identities are gone. Tips are a plain BEM transfer from your wallet to the site's container, paying only gas.
  • Help page: address bar examples and notes for site owners moved to Help → Help. The window opens maximized.
  • Fix: with some wallets, the wallet button stayed red after switching to the site's chain.
