• Ask HN: What apps have you created for your own use?

  Being a co-founder, I often have to wear lots of different hats and needed a way to better manage multiple identities in my browser. I tried Chrome profiles and Firefox containers, but both felt messy. Instead, I wrote my own browser called Wavebox. It started as an Electron app but after quickly finding all the limitations, dropped Electron and built directly on top of Chromium. We're now approaching Wavebox's... - Source: Hacker News / 5 months ago

• Feature suggestion: Add option to isolate information/cookies between sessions

  Failing that have a look at https://wavebox.io/ which is a Chromium-based web browser built to support multi account logins. Source: 11 months ago

• Ditching Notion and ClickUp and all other All in One Tools

  Just wanted to share my recent shift from using all-in-one productivity tools like Notion or ClickUp to using WaveBox, a productivity-focused browser. I am frustrating by all in one tools that suck. Or look like crap. Or don't work the way I would expect. Source: about 1 year ago

• Why do people like Arc web browser?

  I don't get it either. I use wavebox, which as far as I can tell has all the same features as Arc, as well more features. It's stable, fast and built off chromium just like Arc. Seriously, if whoever is reading this is looking for something like Arc, but without the wait to get into the beta.. Just get wavebox. Source: about 1 year ago

• [Summary] Best alternatives now that Ferdi is gone r/getferdi

• Any way to continue to run Slack on Mac OS 10.13?

  I use WaveBox and run a version of the webapp there and find it very functional (and very portable). I also run Teams, and WhatsApp, and another instance of Slack in there. Worth a try. Source: over 1 year ago

• She switched! Best way to make a native app for a web-app?

  Wavebox (GitHub, Website): It's a Chromium-based browser with a full browser navigation bar, but it also has a sidebar for launching specific webapps, and you are able to create desktop launchers for specific sites. Downsides: Commercial software with subscription. And it's kinda cluttered since it is a full browser. Source: almost 2 years ago

• Ask HN: Tips for Reducing the Number of Inboxes

  I faced a similar problem, a whole bunch of sites that all have their own unread items, notifications and so-forth. I started writing a desktop app, Wavebox (https://wavebox.io) about 6 years ago to help me deal with this. It lets you add all your apps down the side of the window, each one with its own unread badge & notifications. Might be something that's helpful? - Source: Hacker News / almost 2 years ago

• How to best manage multiple accounts?

  I really like Wavebox for this kind of thing: https://wavebox.io/ this would allow you to essentially run multiple browser instances under one umbrella. Source: almost 2 years ago

• Best alternatives now that Ferdi is gone

  Have you tried Wavebox? It's cross-platform, fully up-to-date Chromium, allows you to add multiple apps to the sidebar & lets you separate them into different cookie containers (like profiles). 2 apps for free, $99/yearly for everything. Source: about 2 years ago

• New in this week's beta

  Need tabs on certain URLs to never go to sleep, it wasn't possible before but is now. Under Settings > Sleep, you can set up rules to exclude certain URLs from going to sleep after a certain amount of time. Handy if you want everything to sleep aside from your really important sites (https://wavebox.io is one of those... 🤣 ). Source: about 2 years ago

• Browser-Based web app aggregator: Wavebox or Stack?

  Been looking at https://wavebox.io/ and https://stackbrowser.com/ for aggregating multiple Gmails, Slack, etc. Would love to know how they compare if you've tried both. Source: about 2 years ago

• Help! I want to listen in the browser without signing into chrome.

  If none of that will work, I think you're looking at getting permission to use something like GhostBrowser or Wavebox on your work computer, or to be allowed to use the SessionBox Chrome extension, which might be the easiest sell if you offer to eat the cost yourself. This is a first-world problem for sure, but I feel for you all the same; few things can make my workday shittier more quickly than bad music or no... Source: over 2 years ago

• A 55% Performance Improvement Upgrading Material-UI from v4 to v5

  A big part of our browser Wavebox, is the user interface and for some of this we utilize React & Material-UI. We've been a heavy user of Material-UI since 2016 and started out using version 0.14.2. Since then we've seen some big changes to the library and a few big migrations. Material-UI 5 recently launched and we wanted to share some of our experiences in upgrading from version 4. - Source: dev.to / over 2 years ago

• Gmail app with unread badges?

  I'd like to migrate from Windows to a Plasma-based distro and one of the few things that I cannot (or don't want) to live without are badges for unread messages/items/ongoing processes on my task switcher icons. However, my favourite mail/etc. App wavebox (wavebox.io) apparently does not support task bar badges on Linux (tested on regular Plasma taskbar and on Latte Dock). Source: almost 3 years ago
