HeyPuter/puter: Desktop Environment in the Browser!

Very nice tool! They were not very inspired in the naming imo. Spanish users would find that name…interesting, to say the least. Adding an “o” at the end has a special meaning in Spanish :)

I’ve been developing the first of its kind Meta-OS since 2012. The name is: GreyOS. Although my philosophy and architecture is a lot different, the core idea is close to what you are trying to achieve.
Probably we could work together…
Check it out and let’s explore what we can do together.

This is really cool. I had this idea in mind too, and I’m pleased someone is out there implementing it. However, it would be great if y’all could tell me how the legal stuff was handled (such as utilizing Visual Studio Code in your application) as that was the only reason I stopped my project.

This is really cool. Can anyone share their best use of it.

Cool! It will be very very useful in some private environments
