  • v86

    If I add something like v86 (https://copy.sh/v86/), I think it might. 😋

  • alnoda-workspaces

  • docker-firefox

    Docker container for Firefox

    There was a project on here a while back where you could basically host a Firefox instance on a VPS somewhere and use it over the web (reddit post about it). It was pretty cool. It was for use for things like private browsing anywhere you want. Something like that could push Orb into an area where it would be useful for folks with use-cases like that, and not just people with NAS/servers to manage.

  • Code-Server

    VS Code in the browser

  • WorkOS

    The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS. The APIs are flexible and easy-to-use, supporting authentication, user identity, and complex enterprise features like SSO and SCIM provisioning.
