Great project, thanks for sharing. Also in this space is Mighty (https://mightyapp.com https://mightyapp.com). I believe streaming GUIs is the future of the web. We are already seeing this take off with cloud gaming like Stadia. Imagine a truly unified auth identity or in memory db that can communicate and share info across unrelated webapps, or browser macros that brings browser automation capability to the end user for their daily surfing. Or, a truly portable web OS that can operate across any device as a fullscreen PWA, complete with FS capability to the underlying Docker box, and access to your files and data across any instance.
- xemoka 5y ago"Taking off" and "Stadia" in the same sentence seems... out of touch. Interesting ideas all around, and great engineering challenges. But these things aren't rocketing into the stratosphere of public acceptance and adoption.
- throwaway413 5y agoHah, fair enough, didn’t realize it when typing it out but you’re right on Stadia not exactly being a rocket ship. Hey, I use it and enjoy it as a casual gamer. I just meant we are seeing that type of tech start to pop up with Stadia and Xbox cloud gaming, as the gaming industry being an early adopter of this new web paradigm. I think we will see more industries begin to explore the space and the possibilities there. The first use case I personally want to see handled is a set of inline browser developer tools that I can access from within a web page, meaning also across any device, without using an additional third party browser or native tooling.
