KWebBrewGetting cool stuff to "run" without jailbreaking
https://github.com/KindleModding/KWebBrewKWebBrew is a launcher bundled with a useful SDK (file system reading to an extent and some useful functions) and a pollyfill allowing you to use features from ES6 Browsers in your homebrew
Due to its nature, it
does not require a jailbreak to work, however, it also can't run arbritary code directly on the Kindle
KWebBrew uses a manifest format which means that apps can have fancy icons (as shown)
Currently there are two apps available for it, KChess (a work-in-progress 2-player chess game for the Kindle) and sudoku (ported to KWebBrew from
https://www.mobileread.com/forums/sh....php?p=4276488)
How To InstallInstalling it is really easy, simply download the latest release zip from here:
https://github.com/KindleModding/KWebBrew/releases/latestand extract it to the root of your Kindle's OTG file system so that along with your
documents and audible folders, you also have a kwebbrew and apps folder
How To UseKWebBrew automatically installs a browser extension for itself when copying the `.active_content_sandbox` folder, simply select this bookmark and it will open KWebBrew
KWebBrew also doesn't require an internet connection to function, simply open it and select an app
Developing for KWebBrewDeveloper Information will be made available on the GitHub repository's wiki:
https://github.com/KindleModding/KWebBrew/wikiUPDATE: Documentation is now complete
Looks like some of your search history was saved into the `.active_content_sandbox`?

Love it.
In all seriousness, nice work.
Reminds me of
aur0raHAX and
WAF ReactJS.

Lol, I should've anticipated someone would look into the DB, I just kinda forgot how it worked for second lol. But yeah, thanks! Looking at WAF it is kindof like AuoraHax and WAF combined lol but tbf I didn't know about any of them when I started
I'm actually working on a read-only file browser at the moment for it, let me know if there's anything you'd like to see!
Quick update btw: I just finished writing all the documentation
So if anyone wants to actually develop apps for this they can xD
https://github.com/KindleModding/KWebBrew/wikiWorking on v1.2.0 rn, hoping to release it later today or tomorrow but it will have:
- Fully functional KChess (all bugs have been stamped out afaik)
- KChess will also have local storage, automatically saving the state of the board
- New theme based on KoffeeLauncher
- New theming support
- New manifest format
it has been 1 and a half months since you promised that "release it later today or tomorrow". please get it done soon.

Making stuff work for Kindle webkit is somewhat challanging :|
Either way:
https://github.com/KindleModding/KWebBrew/releases/tag/v1.2.0Also, KWebBrew will soon be deprecated, I've got something... significantly better in the works
[the KWebBrew Sudoku and KChess apps will still be maintained with bugfixes already in the works for KChess]
