Hypercube is the result of a bachelor thesis titled "Conception and prototyping of a modern browser's user interface". It is a JavaScript-based prototype used for visualizing ideas expressed in the concept which are:
- the browser in the background
- a different approach to bookmark management
- focus on navigation
Limitations and other important information about the prototype can be found in the bachelor thesis. While previous versions were running as a Chrome Extension and a Chrome App, the most recent ones can run as a stand-alone application based on node-webkit.
- Download node-webkit
- Execute the included
nw
executable with the path to this directory as a parameter (e.g.~/programs/nw .
)
libudev.so.0
is missing when executing node-webkit's nw
executable:
- Linux x64:
sudo ln -s /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libudev.so.1 /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libudev.so.0
- Linux x86:
sudo ln -s /lib/i386-linux-gnu/libudev.so.1 /lib/i386-linux-gnu/libudev.so.0
