Yeah, it is kinda cool. If you think about the projects/code that run in the browser (again, my interest is stuff that is capable of running without the overhead of running server software) and the potential reach, it's kinda thought provoking. Obviously, ChromeOS/Flex, Chromium OS builds and forks, possible distribution in open source distros, downloading and running in your closed source/proprietary operating systems and (also obvious) running them from a server, which would include online and perhaps your little home server.techtalk.cc wrote: ↑2022-04-25 20:46coolSteven W wrote: ↑2022-04-25 05:36This has been a fun experiment, I didn't realize all the ready-made stuff that was out there that'd run in the browser locally. Have been poking around a bit with javascript on my own, something I haven't done in years. Give me a browser, I'll get what I want. Some of this stuff, I'm gonna keep an eye on even if I don't keep ChromeOS Flex around.

I'd really like to see EtherPad and EtherCalc forked and made to run offline, obviously stripping out some of the collaboration stuff -- I think that it'd probably be best to fork them as they were originally intended for collaboration and I'd hate to see the projects lose site of their original goal. I believe there's too many folks that think forking is a bad thing by default and that's not always true.
In short, I'm hoping to see more of this sorta thing...
