Overview

Transite was a super-simple browser that made any website see-through. Mike built it because he wanted to make Discord transparent so he could chat while watching videos, then made it work with every site.

It opened Discord's web app by default; typing another address into the box at the bottom and pressing Enter or Go loaded that site, and search terms that weren't valid addresses went to Google. A slider set the window's opacity anywhere from 10 to 100 percent, and the current value showed in the title bar.

Transite was a Windows app written in C# on .NET 7 with Microsoft Edge WebView2. Its source code was published on GitHub in June 2024.

Questions

Did it only work with Discord?

No. It opened Discord's web app by default, but any address could be typed into the box at the bottom; search terms that weren't valid addresses went to Google.

Arrow keys move through the results, Enter opens one, Command or Control with Enter opens it in a new tab. Tab and Shift+Tab change which kind of results are shown.
