While we&#39;ve been readying the Android release, I&#39;ve also been doing some work on making the new app run on iOS.<br><br>One significant thing that needs doing is replacing the Android-native menu with something more portable. When run on iOS or in a web browser[1], we now have a provisional toolbar at the bottom of the screen, currently with six icon buttons for:<br>
<br>* back<br>* forward<br>* read in...<br>* output -&gt; opens popup menu with &#39;Save page&#39;, &#39;Share page&#39;<br>* bookmarks -&gt; opens popup menu with &#39;Nearby&#39;, &#39;Saved pages&#39;, &#39;History&#39;<br>
* settings<br><br>This will get merged into a top-toolbar for tablet view on iPad, and may end up merging implementation with the next-gen Android-style action bar. We still need more iOS-style icons for some of these; I filled in a couple generic ones with icons from <a href="http://glyphish.com">glyphish.com</a> temporarily.<br>
<br>[1] You can run the app in Google Chrome by launching Chrome with the --disable-web-security option and loading up the index.html in the source tree. Don&#39;t do other stuff on the web in the same Chrome session, as it&#39;ll allow web pages to access each others&#39; data. ;)<br>
<br><br>Things that don&#39;t currently work on iOS or web view:<br>* saved pages (currently requires an Android-specific urlcache plugin, could be redone in native JS?)<br>* nearby (currently implemented as a native Android view, should either redo as native JS with OpenStreetMap or do a native iOS implementation)<br>
* share page (currently implemented with an Android-specific plugin, can be replaced by an iOS-specific one[2]; need a web stub also to offer copy-pasting the URL maybe)<br><br><br>It might also be useful to set things up with a simple proxy PHP script or something so it can be run in a regular web browser mode for testing. Running in a browser makes a lot of style &amp; toolbar tweaks MUCH easier to prototype and debug, except for the browser-specific issues of course!<br>
