Hey,
my phone plan (free plan) allows surfing the web for free but with very slow speeds between 32 kbps and 64 kbps. Safari would not load pages and just display website is not reachable due to a timeout. So, I came up with the idea to build a frugal text browser with some nice features that works with my phone plan.
I can disable loading images, media or web fonts. I can set an ad blocking DNS. I can even use LLMs with my slow connection. In settings you can set your own LLM base url and api key. In an emergency situation this is amazing!
I hope other people enjoy it as much as I do. It’s completely free.
The app is called Narrow32, search in App Store :)
Btw: The community guided me to !imadethis@lemmy.zip
Yes, I’d love to make an Android version too. But I don’t have an Android phone to test on. Technically could use a Android simulator device but my Macbook is probably to slow to handle it. But I will give it a try.
Feel free to post again when you got it to work. Looking foreward to trying it out.
Hey, I just registered an Android developer account (they’re now verifying my address) and they ask me to verify that I own a real Android phone for quality assurance. I need to get a cheap one ASAP. And then I will release an Android version as well.
