A little experiment I have been messing with for some years, Aims to be the Hub to our development studio.

Noticed some major compatibility issues with I.E
This is what it looks like in FireFox:

And with 3 Sub-Windows open

Developers might want to download the latest version of firefox, Compatibility has not yet been trested with other browsers.

The Java and quicktime prompts are a bit shit.

Construed · « **Reply #3 on:** 13 Apr 2012, 23:50 »

Ah, yea I dont get those, I use the latest version of FireFox which handles all of that.
However on other browsers you can disable java and quicktime prompts in your internet options.
I've never seen any java/Quicktime viruses out there so it's a really unneeded precaution anyway.

None of my technologies use quicktime, So its probably one of the subsites.

I get a 503 error.

What is it supposed to be?

It's a technology I came up with some years ago that allow multiple browsers in 1 window at the same time with a built in history function.
Made for the Plateau development team

Like every modern browser only worse?

I really don't see the point.

Construed · « **Reply #7 on:** 14 Apr 2012, 20:06 »

Nah, common browsers have multiple tabs, This is multiple windows within 1 frame meaning you don't have to change pages you can visit all of your necessary websites from one page.

It also includes a multi search tool I created so that you can search all the major search engines within 1 frame and I plan to create more online research and design tools.

It has everything one would need to develop with our company.

There's an issue with that though. Websites aren't designed to be viewed this way. The lowest resolution anyone works towards is 1024x765. With multiple small windows like this I don't get what you would be developing, because it cant be websites, as the viewpoint misrepresents current design standards.
It's functionally the same as having tabs anyway, only that tabs allow you to view pages properly.

I don't understand what this means. What do you develop? What would a hire be doing? What are the goals of this company?

We are an indie game dev company producing multiplayer QFG style games.

This technology allows you to bind websites more closely together as well.

Every website you load in a window on your website becomes part of your website

In the latest versions of firefox you can increase and decrease your window resolution by pressing CTRL- and CTRL+

Also you'll notice if you drag one of the windows over the edge of the screen and drop it the scrollbars size increase, allowing you to open multiple windows at bigger resolution.

Here, I made a short demonstration about how it's supposed to work.

So you've basically reinvented the <Frameset> tag?

Construed · « **Reply #12 on:** 15 Apr 2012, 00:22 »

It's similar to a frameset but it has enhanced features such as complete drag and drop capability, Minimizing/Maximizing, Internal browser "still have to add" Makes it where you can browse to your own choice of websites and is possible to open an unlimited amount.
And I'm working on adding more web based tools which are capable of editing images,text file sub systems, ftp capability etc..

This completely confounds me.

Fair enough.

Why would anyone need that? It wouldn't "become part of your website" because it's another website, you know what I mean?

Scrolling is in no way a step up from clicking a tab. Tabs become smaller when more pages are open for instance so you get great overview, in this case, you can only get an overview of three pages at a time.

I guess the last two functions would be a text editor and some kind of ftp client? Why would you make a less functional desktop, with a browser, inside a browser? people already have operating systems for this stuff.

I am baffled.

It will be a web based operating system,
You can use it even on electronics with no operating system, it will be seperate from your current os, meaning if you crash it wont hurt it and it's a way to assemble a suite of websites and tools into one location that could not otherwise be achieved.
You can also scroll the page infinitely meaning you can put thousands of windows in it.

"You can use it on any browser enabled electronics"

Eric · « **Reply #17 on:** 19 Apr 2012, 03:24 »

I think what he means is that generally, browser enabled electronics will have to be running an operating system in order to function...yes?

Also, did everyone in this thread change their usernames, or am I having a brain damage kind of day?

Construed · « **Reply #18 on:** 19 Apr 2012, 03:34 »

What I mean is a fully functional operating system with DND capability, file transfering/creating, executable capabilities etc, they know what i mean. they are just trying to be rude.
Probably someones multi...

WHAM · « **Reply #19 on:** 19 Apr 2012, 07:18 »

This is pointless and useless and the same functionality can be done with multiple instances of a browser and a few mouse clicks.
Besides, as has been mentioned, since most modern websites are designed for fairly high resolutions, most websites will not display optimally in this "technology and developement hub" of yours.

Besides: I do not see what this allows you to "develop"...

Also: Grim, please give us one practical example of a "browser enabled electronic device" that can run your system and does not require any kind of operating system to do so.
