Slack and discord maybe, but Spotify plays your local music library. Can't do that in the browser (well, maybe with java applets)

- dennykane 9y agoUnless you can put the [little used] HTML5 FileSystem API into full-effect, by creating a full-blown Unix-like operating system (complete with a desktop environment) that runs inside of a browser tab (ie, is "just" a web page)... so that whatever music files are kept in this browser-sandboxed filesystem become your local music library. (Yes, this idea is slowly but surely becoming a reality... I'm the creator of a little thing called "Linux on the Web", at https://linuxontheweb.org https://linuxontheweb.org)
