It seems neat but I have to ask why? What is the use case scenario of this?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I could see this being handy to do personal stuff from a work computer

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

I think that might be it. Almost like accessing a machine via a browser. Reminds of me Guacamole but I'm still not sure.

DOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!

Looks cool, but one thing is weird... I want to get notified but via email but I never got the chance to input the email and it just says it will update me via notification (which I never allowed in the browser). How so?

This is really responsive, do you have a github link so we can try to self-host this?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Looking very cool and it’s super responsive!

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Pardon my ignorance, would this be comparable to something like Guacamole?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Curious. It says I was added to the waitlist however I didn’t add any information.

Also if you’re looking for tester I’m interested

Can I install Steam on it?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Looks pretty! If you need a alpha tester, contact me. Would try it on proxmox...

get off my 'puter

How did I just sign up for the waitlist without logging in to anything and without giving my email? I just clicked 1 button and it said I'll be notified lol

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Me too! Either it's sentient and already spying on us or someone forgot an important step :)

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago
[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Can you link the site?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Like others, I clicked the button to join the waitlist but was never asked for an email or anything.

More importantly, when do these hosted html desktops develop a common standard on how to implement the apps? There's so many now, and none have a common standard on stuff like data access for example. They also all bringt their own small set of mini applications that aren't very useful.

At least Code has a file system backend implemented for it - but it seems like it's a file system provider specifically implemented for it?

Isn't wasm such thing?

What is this for exactly? I see a bunch of low end web apps and even worse phone games. Am I missing something?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

No. People wasting their valuable time building things very little people need.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

It's notepad with extra steps.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

I also want to know about it!

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Fancy

But is it open source?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago
[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Looks interesting is there an explanation as to what it is?, from what I can see from the title and link it looks like a web-based OS, is there any documentation to look at?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

just stand up your own Kasm server

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

I have exactly zero use for this, but I'm way excited to try it out. Looks great!

Can it detect running services on the remote machine? For example Plex or Jellfin.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

That's a gorgeous design! Absolutely beautiful work!
