Offline browser was initially written for myself overnight in a hotel room and was ready to use the next day.
I was at a conference and they give out electronic program book which I would like to use on my iPad. Sounds very simple right? It’s just a big website which I have to copy into my iPad to use. But it turns out to be a rather difficult task and I didn’t managed to find anything in the app store.
So what was I gonna do? I wrote the app overnight and use it the next day during the conference. It was great! I was walking around with the program on my iPad while everyone else were awkwardly trying to balance their laptop and holding coffee.
I polished up the app after the conference and put it in the app store. I also had feedback from someone who purchased it. He is a graphics designer/photographer and uses it to show off his online portfolio while offline. He would just bring his iPad along to client sites and show off his portfolio without having to rely on internet connection. I think that’s a brilliant idea!
Hopefully, this will help conference visitors in general and also for artist to show off their portfolio.
Hi,
I tried your Offline Browser. I downloaded a web site with Teleport Pro. Following your instructions I zipped the downloaded folder and transferred to the Offline Browser. It unzipped the files. HTML files do not show, only a blank screen. When I navigate to pictures, they do show.
I’ll wait for an update.
Ignore my last post. Second try a charm.
I zipped up the correct folder this time.
WOW! very nice. Very fast browsing.
This is just what I was looking for.
A++
Thanks
Glad it worked out!
Offline Browser would be a Great tool if there wasn’t this 3 in 1 click while Full screen mode. I don’t want to explain my Clients how long they have to press the sceen when showing my portfolio. One tiny button at the down right corner which leads back to the main menu instead would be much better…
Yeah. I find it a big annoying as well. I’ll post an update soon.
