I am working on a Node/browser OS in TypeScript to solve for decentralization/peer-to-peer relations if you want to check that out.

https://github.com/prettydiff/share-file-systems

Selling points:

* No frameworks and minimal dependencies

* The GUI loads in the browser with full state restoration in about 260ms in Chrome.

* Full peer to peer file system access

* Original WebSocket service support faster than the popular NPM packages (ws, socket.io)

* Peer-to-peer end-to-end test automation in the browser that is faster and easier than the big browser test automation applications (puppeteer, playwrite)

* I am currently working on a streaming command terminal for the browser for support for for things like vim and irssi. The current experimental terminal only supports basic command input/output
