Then the browser extension should be able to connect to it. 
(Standard: http://localhost:8888, PIN 12345)

I'm still not sure what to do with that window. I find it OK that you can "just exit it", especially since the "server" mostly runs on actual servers, I guess.

That's why I said "unless you love pain".  This is a largely untested version, proven to work on exact one machine: Mine. 
Seriously though:  Tried copying the DLL into the binary folder?

I sent out what I consider the first release candidate for Windows (server)/Firefox (client) to my first voluntary tester today.

Are you aware that the board's NANY template still says "NANY 2017"?

N.A.N.Y. 2018 / NANY 2018 Release: Gowser, a Gopher browser

« Last post by Tuxman on November 04, 2017, 04:57 PM »

NANY 2018 Entry Information

Application Name	Gowser
Short Description	A simple Gopher browser
Supported OSes	Compiled for Windows, would probably compile on *ix though
Web Page	https://bitbucket.org/tux_/gowser (currently, source only)
System Requirements	Binary: Windows. Source: Probably, Linux/Unix with GTK+ and Windows.
Version History	20171104: init. DC build, may or may not break.
Author

Description
'member Gopher? I 'member.
Why is Gopher Still Relevant?

Features

• Gowser will browse Gopher.
• Can make me procrastinate working on ymarks.

Planned Features

• Support for image and sound files.
• Support for Gopher's killer feature: searches.
• Bookmarks.

Screenshots


Usage
Installation
Unrar. Open the .exe. Enjoy.

Using the Application
Enter a Gopher URL.

Uninstallation
Remove the extracted .exe file.

Known Issues

• Most of plain Gopher works, media files (images and sound files) don't (yet). As they rarely occur, I decided to postpone their implementation.
• The one big advantage of Gopher towards HTTP is that you can easily search it. Maybe some day Gowser will support that, but it currently does not.
• This build creates a debug log. If you experience crashes, you can send it to me or something.
• There are crashes. Sorry.

State of things:

• Upload and download (non-incremental: delete and recreate everything on both sides) of bookmarks work neatly with Firefox "Developer Edition" (latest beta 57b13).
• All other browsers remain untested. As it stands, Edge support might be hairy, but I'll try anyway.
• Next up: Implement and test the client-side backup mechanisms. Because we all know why.

Bug?

Maybe the self-hosted variant works. Other than that, according to online reports, this happens for some people, but shouldn't...

N.A.N.Y. 2018 / NANY 2018 Release (preliminary alpha-or-so): ymarks

ymarks :: self-hosted cross-browser bookmarks sync

You know Xmarks, the almost legendary bookmark sync service that has been allowing you to synchronize your bookmarks across multiple browsers since 2006? I have been working on a self-hosted open-source alternative for a couple of months (skipping a couple of weeks because this is far from being my only ongoing development project) and I'm confident to be able to release a first version just in time for NANY 2018.

I implement the client part as a WebExtension, it will probably work with Firefox, Chrome, Vivaldi, Opera, and Edge without any modifications when I'm done. I'll also try to provide an Android app because mobile browsers suck when it comes to extensibility, but that does not have a high priority as of now.

DONEs and TODOs:

Bookmarks server:

• Compiles on Windows done
• Compiles on *ix done
• Can retrieve and store bookmarks done
• Can backup bookmarks done
• Can send bookmarks to the client done

Browser extension:

• Can upload bookmarks done
• Can download bookmarks done
• Can download previous bookmarks done
• Automated downloads and uploads on start/changes done
• Ensure cross-browser compatibility Write separate extensions because Mozilla is a cunt done

Android app:

• Settings (UI & storage TODO
• Bookmarks list TODO
• Add/Edit/Delete bookmarks TODO

Prepare.

You're late to the game.

I admit that Firefox 57 is fast now, but the other advantages when compared to Vivaldi are virtually non-existant.
Have you tried Pale Moon?

I find submenu structures on websites rather counter-intuitive. You'll most likely have to perform severe "trial-and-error" about where to find what you are looking for.
