I love this very very much

I'm glad :)

Quick heads up since the comments have gone onto a second page, new pages will fail to show up on the browse page. I'll try and get this fixed next week. I've also got a fix for the funny layering issues ^^

I hope to start working on this again soon though, I'd like to make it a bit easier to use from within Picotron among other things lol

^PICOSITE^ https://raw.githubusercontent.com/keetsta/picotronKeet/refs/heads/main/browse.lua ^ keet's website ^ :3 ^

i love this proj very much btw, keep it up!

Hey @keetsta I'm glad ya like it! I'm working on a pretty big update rn, I'll post some previews of upcoming changes a bit later. Main things are script sandboxing, custom domain system, and a much more straightforward website code layout which leans a lot more into the fact that websites are just Lua scripts. This means that websites from this version of explorer will be unreadable but it shouldn't be difficult to adapt sites to the new layout. This does mean that sitebuilder will be obsolete though and you'll need a little bit of coding experience to make a website.

One important thing to keep in mind while using this version of the browser is that websites are currently not sandboxed! This means that a malicious user could make a website that causes you to lose all your Picotron data (it can't affect the host computer though), so I'd highly recommend only using this program on the browser embed here on the Lexaloffle forums. You'll be safe to open sitebuilder on your machine if you want but I wouldn't visit other users' sites just to be safe.

Hello! I just wanted to say this idea is super cool, I haven't made much of a picosite yet but I have a start at https://possiblyaxolotl.com/index.lua

I just thought to say I think it could be really cool to add something like

if sub(page, -4) != ".lua" then
	if page[#page] != "/" then
		page = page .. "/"
	end
	page = page .. "index.lua"
end

to the top of the fetch_page function so that if you don't include a filename it automatically searches for an index.lua like other browsers, that way just going to https://possiblyaxolotl.com would go straight to the picosite

@Aolotl yes! I'm currently working on something similar to this in the new version! it overhauls a lot of things so it's taking me a while. I look forward to your site! Here's a little preview of what's coming:

And here's the test page you saw to get an idea for how pages will change:
https://raw.githubusercontent.com/piconet-picotron/piconet-home/main/home.lua
so, a lot more similar to how picotron and pico-8 operates usually. There will be a whitelist of functions and variables that each site will be limited to though, and I'll post that alongside the super explorer app when I finish.

In the video, you can see the beginning of a submission page for sites and basically that'll work by reserving a domain with an associated password and giving it a web link directory. it basically uses the piconet "domain" as an alias for the internet directory. You'll also be able to submit some other info alongside it like tags or a description for the sake of browsing. The college semester is coming up pretty fast so I can't say for sure when I'll be finished with this, but I'll be working on it.
