So far, it seems to be a web-browser. Still probably gonna stick with Brave and Firefox, but it looks cool

The next release will have a slightly refreshed and less broken UI and I promise I won't redo the entire interface again (I swear)

MagicCrayon9342

I might make an experimental AI variant of Catalyst that uses the OpenAI API with a user-supplied API key

AI features will never make it into normal Catalyst.

I tried Catalyst and it looks simplistic. It's nice, but some parts in the UI feel broken like when you click on a menu then click somewhere else the menu doesn't get hidden automatically.

Just curious as to why not?

TIL: Procreate wasnt the one who added “Magic Draw”, that was Ibis

Why won't AI make it into normal Catalyst?
Lack of practicality, privacy, and the need to focus on more important aspects of the browser

The next release will primarily be focused on UI adjustments and bug fixes. When development begins, it's important to report bugs to ensure a stable release.

Focusing on a thing doesn't mean get distracted by another

There's significant differences between an iframe and a webview.

Electron itself isn't a web browser.

Catalyst v3.8.4 has been released bumping Electron from v30.1.1 to v30.4.0 which included several months worth of security fixes.

https://github.com/CatalystDevOrg/Catalyst/releases/tag/v3.8.4

MagicCrayon9342

After several months on inactivity, Catalyst development will continue. The current focus is to finish up v3.9.0 and prepare for release.
