- jslaby 5y agoNext step is bring native apps to the desktop. Then we'll be cookin'
- iSnow 5y agoSo the next step would be to write "electron-browserify.js" which emulates a JS runtime in browser so you can run Electron apps remote.

- cprecioso 5y agoI can’t really remember who but some months ago a coding scratchpad website launched full virtualized Linux environments in the browser through WASM, you could run Node on it.
- leodriesch 5y agoWell someone has already got WebKit to run in WASM[1] so hey, maybe it’s not that far off :D [1]: https://github.com/trevorlinton/webkit.js https://github.com/trevorlinton/webkit.js
