WebAssembly in My Browser Desktop Environment
Thanks! Glicol looks very cool. Ya I am familiar with those headers and I've actually tested it with this, the issue was that I rely on iframes for a few of my apps (Browser & Video Player w/YouTube), and those headers break it. I had some hope with `COEP: credentialless` (https://github.com/WICG/credentiallessness/blob/main/explain...) but it still didn't solve my issue, so I am waiting now for anonymous iframes (https://github.com/camillelamy/explainers/blob/main/anonymou...).

The new desktop Outlook is a bad idea. Here's why
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

Ask HN: Again: The “I want to do everything but end up doing nothing” dilemma
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.

My web-based desktop project just passed 250k users and it all started here at /r/programming. Thank you for everything!
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.

After 1 YEAR of hard work my NEW Ultimate Web Desktop Environment is ready for launch!!!!!
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
