Desktop Browser-based OS

F38E77D1-D7E2-42E2-B1C5-271F38C38BA2.png

  • A bunch of chromium browsers

  • Inside a windowing manager

  • With the ability to move data between browsers

  • Can’t be Electron because IFrames

  • True browser-based OS

  • Separate the protocol from the view

  • Separate the runtime

  • Make the windowing manager the demo

  • I can’t do this inside a browser

  • Create an environment that we control

  • Perfect the protocol, authorization, data sharing within this environment

  • Runtime is Wasm?

Problems to solve:

  • Authorization - decentralized login system that "passes through" to auth for each individual web app
  • Drag-n-drop between browser windows - what is supported?
  • Shared database instance across web apps
  • Backing up data to some decentralized file system that I own
