i made some progress in https://github.com/milahu/browsix

i tried to use web-components, but they never render, window.customElements.get("browsix-terminal") always returns undefined. now im using solidjs and it just works. much easier for debugging

todo: compile *.ts "binaries" in src/bin/ with target=node mount binaries as network-filesystem (browserfs XmlHttpRequest) maybe port binaries to latest node version (node 6 to node 19) make the shell work add more binaries: npm, pnpm, vite, ... start a devserver, show result in iframe add some IDE: codesandbox, vscode, alm, webmaker ... should integrate with git add some SVG editor: boxy svg, ... maybe implement a copy-on-write filesystem (btrfs on indexeddb) make it self-hosted = app can modify its own code, allow rollback to old versions

ultimate goal: create an open-source version of https://github.com/stackblitz/webcontainer-core

@milahu hey sounds like a worthy and unfilled objective. I have been r&ding this problem for quite a while or at least surveying the solutions ie using etc and smoke by Sinclair on here. Let me know if you want to collab and continue your efforts
