QUO

A Decentralized CLI Browser Concept

USAGE

• To operate it type the command id/index.
• To search type the 6 command and press enter.
  • Now, search for the page that you are looking for and press "Enter".
  • To run the page, type -y {id} the id is the page id/index as shown in the CLI.
  • To close the search query command type -n.
• To close the browser type 0.

Concepts

Browser

• Running in the main thread
• Shutdown channel is the global channel that shutsdown all the tab. The command channel is local channel that only has access to a particular tab

User Input

• It is running in an individual Goroutine. (parent: main)

Tabs

• New tab is like creating new Goroutine. (parent: user_input)
• 1 Tab can only serve 1 webpage at a time.
• The server that serves the webpage runs in a goroutine. (parent: tab)

Webpage

• A webpage is simply a static HTML/CSS/JS directory.
• All the webpages are read from the /webpages directory.
• Two way to remove or add a new webpage to the browser:
  • You can paste the directory that contains the necessary files inside the /webpages.
  • Use the Search option and try searching for the particular webpage.

Search

• User can search the local webpages and the webpages of the nodes

Synchronization

• It is running in an individual Goroutine. (parent: main)
• If another browser sends a message starting with "1" then that means they are checking if you are active and interested in sending the nodes copy you have
• If the message starts with "n" then it is the list of nodes, ip:port,ip:port...
• 0 has no use at the moment.

Settings

• Sync: if this is off, then the browser is completely disconnected from nodes.
• SendNodes: if this is off, then the browser never shares its nodes.
• ReceiveNodes: if this is off then the browser never saves any received nodes.

TO-DO

• Clean variables like Webpages after user goes back to main user input.
• anyone can send nodes, without limit. add some rate limit to receiving nodes and the receivers.
• HTML Parser
