iOS Developer Browser

Currently there are ZERO browsers on an iOS device for developers that want to use their iOS device as a portable development environment.

Goal

Build a simple iOS based (Universal) browser that compiles in support for the Web Inspector.

This browser doesn't have to be "the kithen sink" type of browser, it needs to do the things it's designed to do and do them well.

Needs to have

  • Hosted on Github
  • BSD License
  • Full Web Inspector Support
  • Drop Box Integration (for file downloads)
  • User-Agent switcher
  • Tabs
  • Support for bookmarks (either the default Mobile Safari or Firefox/Chrome sync)

Marketing

  • Free version available (maybe limited)
  • $0.99 full version? (all proceeds will go toward expenses, anything more will be donated via Tip The Web or Kickstarter)

Nice to have

  • Custom Proxy support (can be as simple as one or rules like FoxyProxy)
  • Gesture support
    • Swiping between tabs
    • Pull to reload

What is needed

An iOS developer that can help me start this project and get the Web Inspector compiled into the binary and be willing to help me complete this project.
