@dinguschan-owo i'm not sure how to contact you in any way other than this, but i'm working on a project similar to some of your stuff and would love to catch up with you and bounce some ideas around if you have time. if you're interested, please hit me up. thanks!

Sure bro, do you have a repository for it? I'd love to see what ur working on

[therealnoirdev]

so, i've been playing around with this idea for this project (called Noir), and i'd love to get your input since you've got experience building similar systems (and impressive - especially helios - that shit lowkey blew me away)

here's what i'm thinking:

single-file HTML (local file to completely prevent blocking) platform combining:

• p2p networking (WebRTC) - no servers needed for core features.

• desktop(ish)-style window manager UI with apps like games, chat, AI assistant, streaming

• remote management system (kill switch + dynamic popups for updates via Cloudflare Worker)

• anddd lazy loading + optimized for low-end Chromebooks

i haven't done much on it yet, the repo it literally an empty HTML file lol, but here it is rn: https://github.com/therealnoirdev/Noir

note: i've been a UI designer (obsessively) for the past few years, but i've just recently gotten into the real software side of things - and i know this is hella ambitious.

i'm interested in possibly collaborating with you, who's more experienced in backend than i am. i'm not working too hard on this atm, it's a true side project. if you're interested, i can send you some docs i cooked up via whatever works.

Hmu up discord at toaster.fucker (ignore the username lmaoo), it sounds neat! were u thinking like a webos or sum?

[therealnoirdev]

thanks!
i sent a fr on discord to your lovely username
and yeah, i'm thinking a lightweight webos similar to nautilus, but with a little more of a steam/tvOS interface feel up front. i've got a WIP figma file and a sketched out tech stack
