I don't think that guesstimating that something is an AI slop is very harsh these days. It sure has the signs of one:

- HN User created 66 days ago

- In these 66 days it submitted 4 stories about this project

- The heavy lifting is all done by v86 project (not jslinux as initially suspected)

- The project is a "rebrand/fork" from another project by the same author - "traits.build".

- In the original project, the first commits that mention v86 seem to start at around 23rd of April.

To be clear, I don't really mind people vibing & slopping around. I just would want to have a disclosure about it.

Show dead and you see 23 posts about this exact same thing which gives me pause and makes me wonder, did this guy really post this 23 times?

Why? Or is there some program setup on a loop?

Either way,a legit Linux shell in a browser would be kinda powerful and even if this one isn't legit, Im intrested in adjacent projects...for instance this may be the only way to get a shell in a usable shell on iphone which would be neat and useful

i did. i am trying to get some traction on the project to hopefully collaborate on the development in the community.
thank you for this interesting analysis. however, i do disclose that it's agentic coding in yolo mode on my github page.
