A 116kb WASM of Blink that lets you run x86_64 Linux binaries in the browser
I'd love to integrate this into my desktop environment in the browser "OS" (https://github.com/DustinBrett/daedalOS). I already have v86 (https://github.com/copy/v86) for running general x86 iso/bin files and BoxedWine (http://www.boxedwine.org/) for 16/32 bit exe's. It would be cool to be able to drag and drop a Linux binary and just run it. I tried to do this with box86js (https://github.com/raoofha/box86js) but had little luck. Although as a non-Linux user, I am not sure where to get good examples/tests of binaries.

3 YEARS On My Side Project!
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.

Unpopular Opinion: Desktop GUI is the most efficient and fulfilling way of Human-Computer Interaction
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

Show HN: ExaequOS, a new OS running in a web browser
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.

Os.js – open-source JavaScript web desktop platform with a window manager
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.
What are some alternatives?
chromium - The official GitHub mirror of the Chromium source
eruda - Console for mobile browsers
v86 - x86 PC emulator and x86-to-wasm JIT, running in the browser
music-metadata-browser - Browser version of music-metadata parser Supporting a wide range of audio and tag formats.
