For everyone who loves the infinite possibilities of client-site JavaScript, and who at the same time does not love the blink-taggy smell that this kind of library evokes, I present to you the world's first distributed, web-based operating system: see https://www.urdesk.net/desk https://www.urdesk.net/desk
This has been under very active development for going on 3 years now, and it is just starting to get to the point where it can stop being called a prototype or experiment.
- l1n 11y agoWhat features of Chrome are you utilizing that prevent you from supporting Firefox? I'm curious, as when I clicked through I got some kind of manifesto about Chrome being the future, and seeing as your code isn't open source I've no recourse but to ask you about your project.
- nacs 11y ago> web-based operating system "Chrome-based" would be more accurate because it doesn't even work in the latest Firefox. Also, it contains a full page rant on why Firefox is bad (because of something about Netscape and AOL -- apparently it's still 1995). If you're going to call it "web-based" try targeting more than 1 browser regardless of your personal beliefs.
