• 3 YEARS On My Side Project!

  I've learned so much while making this project into my personal website (dustinbrett.com). It's made me a much better web developer as I have tried to emulate a desktop environment with pixel perfect accuracy using CSS, HTML & JavaScript. - Source: dev.to / 17 days ago

• Unpopular Opinion: Desktop GUI is the most efficient and fulfilling way of Human-Computer Interaction

  As someone who built a website around this idea, I agree! The desktop metaphor is powerful. If anyone wants to check it out it's at https://dustinbrett.com. Source: 6 months ago

• Os.js – open-source JavaScript web desktop platform with a window manager

  If you want some Browserception, my desktop environment (https://dustinbrett.com/) can indeed do this. But after a few levels in Chromium you need to add a random query string (/?a=1) to the URL otherwise it stops working. - Source: Hacker News / 8 months ago

• Os.js – open-source JavaScript web desktop platform with a window manager

  Indeed there hasn't been much movement on that project in a while. My project was inspired by OS.js and a few others like Windows 93. It's been actively maintained since I started it nearly 3 years ago. I hope to work on it for a long time to come. If interested in checking out the repo it's on GitHub as daedalOS. My personal website is the demo: https://dustinbrett.com/. - Source: Hacker News / 8 months ago

• ChatGPT-generated "Matrix rain" effect (JavaScript)

  Ya it's the best I have ever found and they really took time to figure out the glyphs and the different versions throughout the movies. I integrated a 2D & 3D version into my website as animated wallpapers. https://dustinbrett.com/. Source: about 1 year ago

• Running Vicuna 7B on my Personal Website w/WebGPU

• ChatGPT Directly in the Browser with WebGPU?! (No Install, No Server)

  I've integrated Web LLM's amazing work into my desktop environment in the browser. Once WebGPU comes out next week we will have a stable platform to run AI's fully client side with no server or install, just purely in the browser and local. Source: about 1 year ago

• I've got Stable Diffusion integrated into my site now, fully client side with no setup or servers.

  Sadly no, not yet. In general WebGPU is still very early days. Next week Chrome 113 will be the first official browser to support it by default. I tried an origin trial on my domain with Chrome 112, and it did activate WebGPU, but it had features missing that only 113 has. I think mobile will have better support later this year once Chrome finally starts shipping this. Thanks for asking! I have since uploaded... Source: about 1 year ago

• Ask HN: What has your personal website/blog done for you?

  When I was a kid in the late 90's making a personal website was my motivation to learn programming. In my 20's it was my blog while I traveled around the world, which I used as a way to communicate with my family and friends. Now in my 30's it's helped me excel my career in web/software development as I have turned it into a side project to build a desktop environment in the browser.

• Show HN: Vim online editor using WebAssembly, storing files using IndexedDB

  Looks cool, if it wasn't for the SharedArrayBuffer usage I would use this one over the current one I used for my desktop environment in the browser.

• Why I'm Glad I Lack Passion to Be a Programmer

  I am in the minority I think but I am a passionate programmer. My passion at the moment comes out in several forms such as my side project / personal website (https://dustinbrett.com). But I have loved tech and computers since I was a kid and I love consuming anything about them and I wake up thinking about cool things to do with them. I wouldn't want to live without some kind of passion to drive my interests. - Source: Hacker News / over 1 year ago
