  • daedalOS

    Desktop environment in the browser

    Project mention: Show HN: ExaequOS, a new OS running in a web browser | news.ycombinator.com | 2023-09-16

    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.

  • ipfs-desktop

    An unobtrusive and user-friendly desktop application for IPFS on Windows, Mac and Linux.

    Project mention: DockerHub replacement stratagy and options | /r/selfhosted | 2023-03-17

    To be honest, this project aside, it's pretty cool and not to bad to get started with. On desktop, I would recommend the aptly named ipfs-desktop if you just want to try it out and get a good glance at all of the features. On android the ipfs-lite app is pretty straight forward though nowhere near the view into features the desktop app provides.

  • Tangram

    Browser for your pinned tabs (by sonnyp)

    Project mention: Native Gnome Wayland app for managing social/messaging apps? | /r/gnome | 2023-05-25

    I had a look at Tangram (https://github.com/sonnyp/Tangram) and it ticks many of the boxes but it's inability to run as a tray app or hidden app as well as the lack of a sidebar doesn't really fit my preferred workflow.
