BASSIX BROWSER using GTK3 and Webkit

It all started because I wanted a small browser
it grew into a test bed for gtk3 and javascript standalone add ons
that can even use a built in static server

it has some nice things built in for you to discover
there is no hidden code everything is readable
making your own browser keeps you
a little more free from big tech

External BaCon dependency

This code gets compiled using the excellent BaCon Converter compiler

BaCon code out of the box is simple and easy to read !
I can highly recommend it learn about it at

The official website http://www.basic-converter.org/
The BaCon Converter Forum https://basic-converter.proboards.com/

for the compiler documentation and many demos how to use BaCon

Testing if I can embed code snippets using javascript
if so I have a great new way to explain demos

extra STUFF to test
working with maps
here is a javascript fiddle demo I made that you could
test outside of the browser that makes a map of Guadalajara Mexico
using the leafletjs its very light and easy to use

I am going to list all external source code used to the original authors
the java script media player was a test of using javascript with the webkit backend
to see if all the internal settings were working

documentation link to the javascript source code
www.geeksforgeeks.org/create-a-music-player-using-javascript/

And thanks your documentation and code was very useful

External dependency

Started using a bbcode editor form the people at
https://www.sceditor.com/

they did a fine job !

beause I am using this inside a browser I made my own personalized
default file called
SCEditor-html5.html
added comments so it should be easier to follow

[big-bass]

added a markdown editor
fixed a page loading bug in the combo callback
pages load faster now

[big-bass]

removed online dependencies for the markdown editor
now it can be run locally
source code came from and credits
https://simplemde.com/

I modified the code for the bassix browser and renamed it
mde-editor.html and is in the folder MDE
should be self contained standalone code now

This is someting I really wanted to add !
Monaco and Ace javascript editors and the now work fully offline!

I had to go about this differently to get the console messages to work inside the editor
I set up a static server using node and a static filter static.js
this is only needed if you want to use the javascript editors
if your on a debian based system such as the rasberrian OS RPI3
sudo apt-get install nodejs npm

*the Basssix browser is not dependant on node if you don't want to install it
to get webkit working with the console offline I had to do it this way

to give credit to the authors of thos apps ace and monaco
