I Spent 4 YEARS Building an OS in the Browser

Fourth Annual Review of My Personal Website

[ify]

You are insane, this is insane. I can’t even comprehend how you tackle a project like this, very well done!!

[EvilTim]

This is one of the most impressive things I've seen in a browser

[shayes.x]

Building your own JS and Python runtimes inside the browser is a fools errand, yet somehow also the coolest thing I've seen so far this year. Loving this!!

[federalcatch]

I love how you used the most standard way of testing your project, "Can it run doom?" love that detail

[roomtemp_scrambled_eggs]

This is WILD. I think most normal (not developers) people would think its pretty neat and go about their day, but for someone who has an idea how much work something like this would take, it is mindblowing. Incredible.

This is one of the coolest passion projects I've ever seen. Awesome work!

[nuvotion-live]

One of the ultimate "just because you can" projects! There must be some useful application of this tech too, I know Synology NAS has a desktop-like web UI. That's sort of what this reminds me of.

[EgoNoGo]

I’m absolutely blown away by this project, just like everyone else. But it’s not just the operating system. The way you guide us through the demo is so easy to follow and engaging. And then there’s what takes you to the next level… beyond keeping up with all the updates you make, you actually respond to almost every single comment. Keep up the great work! You’re an inspiration.

I literally had this idea 2 years ago and thought nahhhh that will take too long to develop and you had the idea earlier and stuck to it! I am mad proud of you brother! Thanks for doing such an amazing project for the collective 😭

[MuscarV]

Seen many "OS in a browser" projects throughout the years but this is the first one that truly deserves to be described as such. I was expecting something like those others, maybe with some newer thing added but this is absolutely mind-blowing!
Definitely gonna keep up with this and see how it evolves.
Awesome work, and you deserve a webby award, be it this year or any following.

Very impressive work. So responsive too. So many possibilities! Please continue to share your progress.

[JackVania]

This is nuts. Dude. Absolutely amazing work!

[JPTHECREATOR]

im at a loss for words. it's beautiful. this is a dream project of mine. you nailed it.

[stefaninfp]

You built your own universe! Amazing! Never see anything like this!

[timeisthegreatoffer]

This is amazing! I ran the OS in my browser, then opened a browser within the OS and tried launching the OS again inside the browser. It works perfectly, but it doesn't loop infinitely.

[AllHandsOnEveryThing]

For anyone who got at least a little glimpse of an idea of what is actually happening here. this guy is mad genius!

[glaudiston]

Very impressive! Congratulations. Keep improving it and eventually you will understand that the journey matters and this is not "spent time", but quality time that created something special, and you should be proud. This project is inspirational. Absolutely loved it. Thank you.

This has to be the fastest subscription I've ever made! I once toyed with the idea of building something like this, but the sheer complexity of the thought itself overwhelmed me, and I never pursued it. The fact that you dedicated four years to bringing it to life, now that’s a level of commitment that commands serious respect. Hats off to you, my man —truly INSPIRING!

[samtgz]

What an incredible project! Kudos to you 👏

[SuperSurreal]

This is unreal!! Absolutely incredible!!! Honestly one of the most impressive things I’ve seen! You are very, very talented!!
