awesome-web-desktops VS js-dos

Palm Pre's webOS (2009) is the most famous. After an acquisition by HP (2010-2013), it was acquired by LG's (with patents going to Qualcomm).

Before that was a neat Linux project Pyrodesktop (2007) which was an x11 window manager using Firefox guts to render. There was also a trend of trying to mate Javascript technologies to gnome back then, with efforts like gjs seeing some adoption. I don't know how popular it is, but a spinoff of css was/is used for styling in GNOME for a while.

These days there's tons of web desktop projects. https://github.com/syxanash/awesome-web-desktops . Only sort of in the spirit but i quite adore Greenfield, an html5 Wayland desktop/compositor. https://github.com/udevbe/greenfield

As a matter of fact there is [1] I'm personally curating it and check up on the links weekly.

Cool, good luck! Feel free to check out my code for ideas. One of my favorite lists for these kinds of sites is at https://github.com/syxanash/awesome-web-desktops

Thanks glad you liked it! There other "desktop environments" in the browser (https://github.com/syxanash/awesome-web-desktops), but I tried my best to be one of the more accurate/functional ones.

Thank you so much for the kind words! If you're looking for a desktop environment WITH cloud filesystem the only one I know of at the moment is https://gitlab.com/hsleisink/orb. If you mean just the local desktop environment, there is a big list here.

Ya that is a well done one that was inspiration for me, cause it was taken very seriously. This site has a good list of Web Desktops.

Ah, my first experience with these "Web Desktops" was with AaronOS. After digging, some digging I was inspired by a few others that I felt went beyond the visual copying and tried to make some kind of underlying system, which I thought was a cool idea to work on. The others were Windows 93 , [https://www.os-js.org/]( & [https://windows96.net/](. There are some good collections of various OS's, if you are interested: - https://github.com/syxanash/awesome-web-desktops - https://github.com/zriyansh/awesome-OS

Looking through the source code, it is powered by js-dos: https://github.com/caiiiycuk/js-dos

Funny timing. I actually just built an in-house server this past Friday to host the original Oregon Trail using js-dos because I don't like poking holes in the content filter for sites like archive.org. I didn't worry too much about copyright, as I assumed it was abandonware at this point.

Thanks glad you liked it! It's actually not a port but is running on DOS via https://js-dos.com/, same as Doom and Jazz Jackrabbit. I actually have my 8 favorite Shareware games on my website which can all be played.

Maybe something like https://js-dos.com/ for dos and https://www.emulatorjs.com/ for old game consoles?

DOS Emulation via js-dos

Adding emulators is something I always wanted to do and I have plans to add more in 2022. For 2021 I was able to add Virtual x86 (.img/.iso), BoxedWine (.exe/.zip), JS-DOS (.exe/.zip) & Ruffle (.swf/.spl). Most of these emulators utilize WebAssembly to run non-JS code.
