Os.js is a javascript based Operating System

Os.js is a javascript based Operating system. It is sleek, pretty fast and handles Multitasking pretty well. It comes pre-loaded with some basic applications like- A code editor, Writer, chat via gmail and many others. The best thing though is, it runs on a browser.

Nothing sketchy about this

Because if there is something the world needs, its more operating systems.

'The Cloud' and IoT is getting out of control.

So let me get this straight, I need to have an OS (to run the browser) to run this OS???

Pretty cool! I'm a JS developer myself and my, we've gotten so far. The beauty of this thing is that it's open source and therefore deployable for personal use. Say, you get a cheap-ass cloud server and pay about 3 bucks a month (on AWS EC2, get the smallest micro instance), and install this in. Then, you can basically hop onto any computer with a browser and take your settings and programs with you. Granted, it's still pretty basic, but hey, at this point it's a proof of concept that you can implement Broadway-based GTK on browsers.

Instead of talking how this is run inside an operating system, we should be looking at how smooth it is. I think this is a great tool to be productive. I found it interesting, that's the least I can say about this
