I'm working on developing out the web UI functionality for NomadNet that currently exists as a placeholder as an alternative to the text-based Urwid TUI.

It is lightweight with zero added dependencies. There is no NPM, bloated build process, or framework. The frontend is a single HTML page and one JS file that runs from a stdlib Python HTTP server inside the nomadnet package. It reuses all of the NomadNet internals where applicable. The onnly vendored files are micron-parser-js DOMPurify and an included mono NerdFont.

It generates its own certificate on first start and wraps the listening socket with the standard library's ssl module

Below is a preview, some parts aren't functional yet:

Browser

"Terminal" theme:

TABS!!!! (And the option to zoom)

Conversations

Email-style view:

This looks amazing, can't wait to start using it!

Oh, this is very nice Zenith! Really looking forward to trying this out! Really cool you took this up!

Oh wow that is cool indeed !

This looks awesome!

Beautiful!

I think I'll really enjoy the new features like those tabs, but even besides that, it feels like we've been needing a coherent (edit: in the sense of https://maevyn.codes/decoherence) desktop gui app for a while and this is finally getting there <3

Is it still using micron-parser-js for page rendering?

It’s turned out really well—great job! I’m not sure to what extent you intend for this to be exclusively for Nomadnet, or how open you are to adding new features. I was thinking that if it also included voice calls, I might switch over to it!

Oof, I've been wanting/looking for something like this for a bit. Mainly due to a very port controlled network at the office, where connecting to a self hosted web service would be way more feasible compared to a connecting to a backbone/tcp/udp-interface outside of the lan.

I'm extremely excited to see this come to life (whenever it does)! <3

I forgot to say, but really like the email-style message view! If that's still just a mockup, I hope it makes it to the actual version :)

Love It !!!!

Super excited to give this a try. Great work and seems like to are staying true-north to the rest of the project - great job :)
