CLUSTER BROWSER-DESKTOP-ENVIRONMENT · 9 ENTRIES · EARLIEST ENTRY 2025-07-14

Browser-based desktop environments

This cluster consists of products that emulate a desktop operating system inside a web browser, featuring windows, built-in applications, and customizable interfaces. The dated history before the index start is too thin to read a shape from, as only one dated entry exists. Traction leaders based on activity signal are Win98 with 3 stars, LNori with 6 stars, and Hi19-Python with 1 star.

Each bar is the month a member carries, which is a creation date where the source published one and a crawl date otherwise. Nothing in the index was found before 11 August 2026, and coverage broadened sharply on 14–15 August, so a bar from then on reports how much we found that month, not how much was built; an earlier bar reports how far back a member's own source dated it — not how long we have been watching.

Two labels per entry, never collapsed into one: how it was built, and who stands behind it. Counted over the 9 listed below. Unlabelled means nothing has decided yet — not that the answer is small.

Ranked by traction, highest first, and paged 20 at a time — this is a window on the cluster, never the whole of it. Ties are broken by a stable id so a product cannot appear on two pages or fall between them. Browse every cluster.
