    🌐 The Internet OS! Free, Open-Source, and Self-Hostable.

    • Why is this so easy to read compared to React? https://github.com/HeyPuter/puter/blob/master/src/UI/PuterDi...

  • netboot.xyz

    Your favorite operating systems in one place. A network-based bootable operating system installer based on iPXE.

    • I replied to a reply of yours with this same info, but since you’re both sorta asking the same thing, I’ll post it here for you also.

  • daedalOS

    Desktop environment in the browser

    • Thanks for the mention for daedalOS! I agree that when done well these projects can help demonstrate the maturity of the web as a platform. For anyone interested in checking out mine, it's on my personal website @ https://dustinbrett.com/

  • phoenix

    Discontinued 🔥 Puter's pure-javascript shell (by HeyPuter)

    • We have a separate repo where you can submit issues related to the shell: https://github.com/HeyPuter/phoenix/issues

    If a file doesn't have a newline at the end then `cat` will immediately start writing the prompt after the last line; this is the same behavior you'd expect from sh or bash. We might later improve this by having a "no newline"-indicator in the promptline instead.

  • hl

    Half Life Browser Port (by Pixelsuft)

  • The-Cuis-CookBook

    A list of procedures to start using Cuis-Smalltalk with little effort

    • It's hard to make that performant.

    As a reference, here is a browser-adapted version of the https://cuis.st/ Smalltalk environment, which does its own rendering onto a canvas:
