win11React VS awesome-web-desktops

We actually first created it with https://github.com/blueedgetechno/win11React then I was learning Svelte didn't have any new project ideas so redid it with Svelte and found out its just much better DX. Much easy to maintain + much more :)

Inspired by this Window11 React, I wonder if can we build a "virtual Window 11" on top of browsers with fully functional software like game/IDE/... So I have tested a very simple cloud gaming demo and turn out it is very impressive

but then I realize another team did that 🥲 I'll share the link below to check it out, back to story it was a little disappointing, but I figure that I could start developing my new one, and whenever I got stuck I could get help from the existing one, and also learn new things.

https://win11.blueedge.me/ this girl is making a web version of win11, maybe it can help you ? not everything is functional, but the ui/ux is here

Oh and if you want to teach students the fundamentals of the Windows UI, why not use an online emulator accessed through their Chromebooks? Something like this: https://win11.blueedge.me/

Ok so I’m posting this here because I’m not sure whereever else, but i was messing around in the react project of windows 11 https://win11.blueedge.me/ and basically i opened notepad and typed the following “hello guys, today were going to be looking at windows 11” as like a joke, and then this anime girl just jumped out at the bottom and said something like “no no” and i got so freaking scared i closed the tab. I’m posting this here because like i need to know more, like is this a 1/1000 type of thing, or a thing to stop people as passing this off as windows 11? I’m so freaking scared oh my god I’m never ever opening that site

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
