Bussin Web X

An alternative to the World Wide Web (http(s)://), with:

• its own custom browser written in Rust with GTK,
• custom HTML, CSS and Lua engine (yup, no javascript! 🎉),
• custom DNS allowing websites such as buss://ohio.rizz,
• and search engine (wip).

File structure

• /napture - The source code for the browser Bussin Napture, used to view buss:// sites.
• /dns - The source code for the DNS (Domain Name System), used for the API at https://api.buss.lol
• registrar - The source code for buss://register.it, frontend for https://api.buss.lol made for Bussin Web X. This can also serve as an example for how buss:// sites are made.

Download and Install

Arch Linux

• yay -R napture, it's available on AUR.

Linux

• For now, you have to download Rust. Then, you just need to open install-linux as an executable (if you can't execute it, first do sudo chmod +x ./install-linux, then you should be able to install).

Windows

• Install the executable from the release tab. It's a self-extractor with WinRAR because it has a lot of DLLs.

Register website

To register a website, navigate to buss://register.it through Bussin Napture.

You will see this interface.

What you need is the Publish section.

• for the domain name, choose whatever you want. (example: duckduckgo)
• for the TLD, choose one displayed above the Result will appear... label. (example: rizz)
• for the IP, you can either use:
  • an IP that serves /index.html on port 80
  • a GitHub repository that has index.html, outside any folder. (example: registrar)

Don't worry! The IP doesn't have to be valid, and you can save the domain for later!

WARNING: After creating the domain, you'll be shown a secret key. Please make sure to save it as you will need it to Update/Delete your domain.

HTML guide

The supported tags are: head, title, link, meta, script, h1-h6, div, p, ul, ol, li, div, button, hr, img, input, textarea, button, select, option. Keep in mind their syntax may be different if you're already familiar with HTML5 (i.e. link is used for the tab icon). Please check registrar or /napture/test/index.html for examples.

CSS guide

The supported properties are:

• border-color
• border-width
• border-style
• border-radius
• padding
• direction (row | column)
• align-items: (fill | start | center | end)

• height (only on <input> & <textarea>)

Properties whose value type wasn't specified are either measured in px, or are colors (#fff, red, etc.)

Lua guide

For those coming from the traditional web...

- 1. const test = document.querySelector(".classExample");
- 2. test.textContent = "abc";
- 3. (async () => {})()
- 4. test.href = "https://ok.test"
- 5. console.log(test.href)
- 6. test.addEventListener("click", () => {})
- 7. test.addEventListener("submit", () => {})
+ 1. local test = get("classExample")
+ 2. test.set_content("abc");
+ 3. coroutine.wrap(function())
+ 4. test.set_href("buss://register.it")
+ 5. print(test.get_href())
+ 6. test.on_click(function())
+ 7. test.on_submit(function())

I believe you'd get a better understand if you explored the registrar repository's script.lua.

NOTE: Bussin Napture doesn't support buss:// redirects yet. They will be added in the official release.

The rest of the README is work in progress. Thanks for reading!
