Incredible website! Very functional for how experimental it is and full of neat surprises. Love that a screensaver comes on after it is inactive for a while. (I found the pizza recipe btw)

  So glad you explored it all the way down!! You might find some more Easter eggs here and there ;)

Thanks syx for the work you do! And that screensaver is awesome on your site, Hack the Planet!

  Thank you Dustin and congrats for your new release, definitely worth all the effort you put into it!!

    Thanks! It's a total rewrite from scratch over a year and I really wanted to improve every aspect of what I had done the first time with v1. I still have a long way to go but my aspiration one day is to have near feature parity, within the confines of what can be done in a browser. Maybe in a decade or so I can redo it again when browsers support more stuff.

With all these I feel like there is an opportunity for a standardized API for client programs. Web apps running in a frame could postMessage requests for selected services from the desktop environment. It could potentially allow for a app to easily support a large number of different environments.

  I would indeed like to have something like this, for 3rd party development. I have some generic aspects but it's mostly internal to the app at the moment. So I will add this to my to do list. I am not familiar with a specific standard but maybe I can find something to base it on.

Just wanted to comment again to say I have actually gone through every single link on this site as I was building mine. I am obssessed with this kind of project and loved seeing what others did and using it as inspiration.
