  • Ask HN: What apps have you created for your own use?
    212 projects | news.ycombinator.com | 12 Dec 2023
    Being a co-founder, I often have to wear lots of different hats and needed a way to better manage multiple identities in my browser. I tried Chrome profiles and Firefox containers, but both felt messy. Instead, I wrote my own browser called Wavebox. It started as an Electron app but after quickly finding all the limitations, dropped Electron and built directly on top of Chromium. We're now approaching Wavebox's 7th birthday and going from strength to strength!

  • Ditching Notion and ClickUp and all other All in One Tools
    1 project | /r/ProductivityApps | 8 Apr 2023
    Just wanted to share my recent shift from using all-in-one productivity tools like Notion or ClickUp to using WaveBox, a productivity-focused browser. I am frustrating by all in one tools that suck. Or look like crap. Or don't work the way I would expect.
  • Show HN: Building Browser Extensions Using FileSystem APIs (and ChatGPT)
    2 projects | news.ycombinator.com | 30 Mar 2023
    Hi HN! Wavebox Flow (https://flow.wavebox.io) is an open-source (https://github.com/wavebox/wavebox-flow) browser extension builder that runs directly in your browser. We want to help make building your first extension, or prototyping that idea that's been sat on your desk as simple as possible. There's sometimes this bit of "where I do I start" syndrome, where you're not sure what to start with, or even where to look. Given the advancements of the HTML5 FileSystem APIs, it's now possible to store your extension files directly on disk and edit them with the amazing Monaco editor. If you're prototyping and start to feel that your idea is growing legs, there's nothing stopping you opening the extension in your favourite editor and continuing from there - the output is just standard a WebExtension.

    We've been using Flow internally for a few months to create helper extensions, such as one that helps us to link support tickets to our internal admin system and another that helps us with the GitHub approval flow. Both in record time and with minimal effort. When we realised how much of useful tool it is, we felt that we could couldn't keep it proprietary and the best thing to do, would be to open-source it and make sure compatibility is great with as many browsers as possible.

    The extensions that you create are compatible with any Chromium browser and also Firefox. If you're using the Wavebox browser, we've added some additional tooling so you can skip some of the manual extension installation and reloading steps, but Wavebox Flow is fully featured in any browser. And of course, what product wouldn't be complete these days without an integrated ChatGPT to help with coding and catching errors.

    This is just the start, we open-sourced the initial version but are looking to develop Flow further. We'd love to hear about any feedback that you have and how we can make Wavebox Flow better. You can check us out at https://wavebox.io/ and https://github.com/wavebox/wavebox-flow/

  • Why do people like Arc web browser?
    2 projects | /r/macapps | 13 Mar 2023
    I don't get it either. I use wavebox, which as far as I can tell has all the same features as Arc, as well more features. It's stable, fast and built off chromium just like Arc. Seriously, if whoever is reading this is looking for something like Arc, but without the wait to get into the beta.. just get wavebox.
