I like this one. It's nice to see it utilizing a lot of browser enhancements that didn't exist when I had a go at making one.
How much server side infrastructure does yours use? I used just a tiny shim to do login, serve static files, and establish a websocket for a FileIO. It provided a socket on the server side that processes could connect to and run things on the browser side, much like X11 processes connect to the X server.
Every now and then I do a couple of tweaks to update mine. The first few things I tried out with ChatGPT were things that I wanted to make for my desktop environment (an IndexedDB filesystem and a transmit API through a messagePort system)
It may seem like wasted time, but you never know how things turn out. In the last week I extracted a lot of the little paint program I made for my desktop and turned it into a ComfyUI plugin.
- DustinBrett 3y agoThanks! I did indeed try and use a lot of modern browser features when possible. It's a fully client-side app which only has static files. It would be cool to connect to X server and perhaps one day I will move into that area with a back-end, but it's been a goal of mine to keep it a fully front-end app.
