Phpbrowserbox Goes Open-source! by Nobody: 8:46am On Feb 29, 2016
Hi people,
despite the fact that the phpbrowserbox is easy to use, there are some aspects of it that a core developer might still wish to modify.
As a result of this, I am releasing the source code to the public, hopefully, we might see improvements in some other areas if more developers support it.
The core app is written in C++, while the browser component is written in Node Webkit. I am not an expert in either of the languages, so I know that this app can really be improved a lot by other developers.

In case you do not know what the phpbrowserbox project is really about, this should help - https://www.nairaland.com/2860940/phpbrowserbox-update-google-chrome-php

This app has been download 1,836 times, with the majority (23%) of downloaders being from NigeriaJapan and 77% of downloaders being window users (i expected that to be 100%).
So there is still work to be done, hopefully, very soon, we shall move it to other platforms - since the two major languages used for developing it are cross-platform languages.

Uhm.. Same issues here Bro...


Sign-up aint Mobile friendly at all... Keeps on asking for identification of streets with tags... After that, nothing happens... Keeps us in an endless loop of street questions... Lol...


I even tried retrieving my password and it sent a mail to my box.. Problem is: the mail contains an activation code with no link... What could be the issue??

Hmn, i wonder. . . . . . .i think it is time to upgrade to Nairaland 2.0, just a few more modules. You guys should just give me like 1-2 weeks.

You can just follow the updates here: https://github.com/dhtml/phpbrowserbox

I just revamped the website: https://phpbrowserbox.com to reflect the new changes:

It supports Wordpress readily, laravel and other PHP frameworks (or even custom PHP).
