That might be a bug with WebKitGTK.

Feature idea: when going to a URL, directly go to it instead of searching on Google.

Should be a simple fix tbh, I'll do it either tomorrow or the next day.
Edit: Do you mean clicking on a link searches its URL on Google? That's a bug.

I just realized what you meant lol. I think it's still a bug.

Bump!

Made a few commits today. These include adding bookmarks and polishing up the UI slightly.

Can reproduce. Actually, for me it goes to the “Our server is Scratch'ing its head” 404 screen. Unfortunately, as said before, this is likely a bug with WebKitGTK.
Edit: The bug is also present in GNOME Web (aka Epiphany), along with a memory leak so bad my system hung for like 10 minutes.

What OSes does this work on? Theoretically, it should work on any OS if you compile it from source. Currently, automatic release builds are compiled for x86-64 Linux only.

It only works on Linux unless you want to figure out how to compile it.
I just dual booted Linux to try it.

Windows is not supported.
And I don't think it ever will be, at least properly. I can't test Windows builds and GTK doesn't work very well on it, apparently. I'll try to make it work for v0.2, but don't take that as a guarantee.

I've been working on other things as of late, so I haven't really been doing much with Platinum unfortunately

Is there any way I could get involved with this project? I want to start working on some open source projects, I always have had the passion.

If you want to implement something, go ahead! The source code is on GitHub, so you can build it yourself and then start cracking.
