Inspiration
My first ever app development project was a web browser four years ago, however I lost the source code. Thus, I wanted to see how capable I was to make a web browser from scratch now, with more experience! I also wanted to make it for sustainability for older devices, to give back.
What it does
It provides a feature-rich yet streamlined, speedy web-browsing experience for under 5MB of your device's storage!
How we built it
I wrote Java code and XML in Android Studio.
Challenges we ran into
Making the application handle bookmarks properly was a fun experience that required some hacking of SharedPreferences to make it work as I wanted it to.
Accomplishments that we're proud of
It has all major features of mobile web browsers: JavaScript, HTML5 video & content, download, split-screen & custom scaling!
What we learned
I learned how to apply my computer science know-how of the past four years in a short time-frame with an oriented goal and sub-tasks!
What's next for Sied
I intend to bolster it and make a suite of apps intended to support older devices for universities and just university tools.
