Seems really interesting so I have been Googling to try to figure out what you are talking about. Is the Hydraulic product a way to easily deploy GraalVM software? And maybe by adding some type of search and document browsing capability, it can become a new type of web browser?
Could you take a look at my comment in this thread and also at https://github.com/runvnc/tersenet https://github.com/runvnc/tersenet
I have not totally updated that but my current thinking is that we really want to finish deconstructing the overlay operating system that the "web browser" has become. For example, we should actually not bundle the information browsing program and application VM together, but rather have a simple standard for them to work together. Such as, the info browser can save the list of the application binaries to a file or directory that the VM system knows to watch.
We also actually want to further decompose this into a multilevel window manager concept. On the first level, just a rule that applications save and reload window layouts when the user adjusts them.
I really think it should be a goal to standardize on some web assembly extension with simple UI features like canvas or framebuffer and keyboard events.
- mike_hearn 5y agoYep, I saw your comment. You're definitely thinking along the right lines here. It's all about incremental decomposition and recombination. Hydraulic's first product is currently in private beta. If you like, email me and I'll add you so you can see what it is. Actually email me anyway, because I'm putting together a list of people who are interested in post-web technologies for perhaps a podcast/interview series. My address is in my profile.
