KodExplorer VS daedalOS

Someone made something like this but in pho. Been using it for years: https://github.com/kalcaddle/KodExplorer

Maybe KodExplorer? It runs as smooth as Synology DSM.

I happened to find KodExplorer today, it's a web-based desktop / online IDE, and actually seems like a pretty cool idea and implementation.

It's left me wondering: Does you know of any other interesting, novel, or modern open-source web-based desktop apps?

I've learned so much while making this project into my personal website (dustinbrett.com). It's made me a much better web developer as I have tried to emulate a desktop environment with pixel perfect accuracy using CSS, HTML & JavaScript.

I'm very happy to announce that my personal website has once again been nominated for a Webby Award!

This has also been ported to the web via Emscripten. I host it on my website if anyone wants to play. https://dustinbrett.com/?app=SpaceCadet

As someone who built a website around this idea, I agree! The desktop metaphor is powerful. If anyone wants to check it out it's at https://dustinbrett.com

Very cool! It's always refreshing to see the "OS in the browser" projects that try and actually make something functional. I've been working on one myself for nearly 3 years now, called daedalOS (https://github.com/DustinBrett/daedalOS).

The WASM kernel idea is very cool and I hope one day to be able to add something similar to my project. I think you are onto something and I am excited to see your progress as you implement the GUI.

If you want some Browserception, my desktop environment (https://dustinbrett.com/) can indeed do this. But after a few levels in Chromium you need to add a random query string (/?a=1) to the URL otherwise it stops working.
