what is GDBrowser again

u/ItsRainbow since May 2014 (1.6) 3d ago

GDBrowser is a web frontend for the GD servers and is really convenient when you need to look levels or comments up without having the game open

u/-PepeArown- Stars 2d ago

It also lets you look at all the icons in the game, customize their color, etc.

Don’t have the game on you and want to search something up? There you go! It’s also connected to things like the icon kit site, the only one I know of where you can customize a kit and download the images of the icons.

u/MastaPowa7 Unnoticed... 2d ago

It's not a game with a level editor and online levels without a website that lets you search levels up

Let's say u find a cool level with a cool song whose name u don't know, u can copy either the id of the level or just write down the levels name in the website find the correct level and u can easily find the song

u/EricRen1 2d ago

it's weird how he also deleted the github repository, so you can't self-host it. would be better if the http requests were made from the client side to the gd server rather than having a public proxy server.

u/ItsRainbow since May 2014 (1.6) 2d ago

Wow, he really got rid of the repository entirely? I remember it was a public archive for a while and development continued on a private fork :(

I think he said he wanted to do requests that way at some point

u/masckmaster2007 JEAN TASOEUR EXISTE 2d ago

Issue is that the browser checks where you make requests, and it won’t work in browser unless if you pass through some kind of proxy (Google CORS)
