I'm certainly flexible to work with the use cases I see.

Your Emacs workflow is one I'd happily replace with a proper GUI (VSCode, etc).

The current iteration is quite literally a full remote desktop, onto which you can install any semi-random program you'd like. In fact, there's even a "Barebones Windows" desktop available, with no installs, for you to flesh out as you please. Multiple terminals are totally cool too!

That said, the long-term vision is to make the apps you use seem local, so there's no context-switching. I'd like Booste to just be a wrapper around the app - if I could eliminate the desktop on the server end and simply capture the application window, that'd be the most seamless experience for users who are not used to context-switching into remote desktops.
