📦Inordinately jazzed about the WebVM open-source project, which embeds a tiny little sandboxed Linux (with networking!) in the browser: 👇You can create, edit, and run Python, Ruby, C++, bash, etc. code; pull in files; ping test websites; and a whole heck of a lot more.

Hi, Lead dev of WebVM here. Thanks for sharing this around. For any question the team is available on Discord:

Let's see if we can somehow run Doom in it

This is so awesome!

It's really cool but what are the practical use cases for having a small environment running in the browser (and storing some disk/state changes kindly). Could it be used for serious dev? Or just saves installing 2/3 standard tools on a new/temp workstation?

But can it now run a browser that runs a WebVM with Linux in it???

Introducing 🚨 The ultra-fast Linux-like OS in the browser, it's a mapping of Linux APIs to the browser APIs. Now run that untrusted code. You might not need a cloud sandbox! Made for Agents and Humans!

Animations in Svelte 5 just got a whole lot better: They're integrated more closely with the web animations API now, which fixes a bunch of bugs, and you can even control the speed through browser dev tools!

Linus Charles wrote Linux at 21 from his mother's apartment in Helsinki and he just explained the philosophy that made him give it all away for free: "When I started Linux, I needed an operating system for my own use, and today you find Linux everywhere." "In small embedded devices, supercomputers, this technology allows you to expand into many different niches." "Working in an open source project where you work with hundreds, potentially thousands of people, makes the whole technology even more interesting." "One of the nice things about Linux and open source in general is that there's a lot of different things and everybody has something that you can give to the project." PS. We post daily content strictly for dedicated entrepreneurs, so if you’re one of them, make sure to follow us Entrepreneurs on X for more. Like and repost if you found value in this post:

This is an excellent feature of Grok4. The code you provide to Grok gets nicely formatted in a Markdown block. The play button lets you run your code in the browser. You can also easily copy or edit your code.

Did you know that Visual Studio Code has HAD a built-in browser! Say "start my app in simple browser" and it will run the dev server and open simple browser to localhost. It can take screenshots of the page or element and send DOM elements to the agent chat!

For those who missed the news: we made Elixir run in browser – and named it Popcorn🍿 With Popcorn, you can run and compile Elixir code in-browser, play with IEx, and even use OTP apps. And yes – it’s pretty fast. Sounds fun? Play with a live demo – link below 👇

We just submitted our project to the OpenAI Developers WebMCP hackathon: The WebMCP Computer. WebMCP Computer is an operating system that lives inside the browser, with WebMCP as its native control layer. It is a computer that treats agents as first-class citizens, where files, processes, applications, windows, and the terminal are exposed directly through WebMCP. You can send anyone one URL that becomes a disposable computer for any agent task. We created a computer instance in ChatGPT Sites, open it with Codex’s in-app browser and try it here: Some examples of what you can do with WebMCP Computer: 1/ Give a coding agent a fresh computer to clone a repository, edit code, run tests, and preview the result. 2/ Let an agent inspect logs, manage processes, change configurations, and repair a broken system. 3/ Give a research agent its own workspace to browse, download files, analyze data, and create a report. 4/ Create reproducible environments for evaluating and comparing different agents. 5/ Let humans and agents work together in the same environment, with the agent using WebMCP and the human using the GUI. The list of applications is endless, with more examples in our GitHub. The project is fully open source under the MIT license. Created by our awesome founding engineer Ilay Alog.

Finally, a browser automation framework for Agents that actually works in production (open-source)! Typical browser automation tools like Selenium or Playwright require you to hard-code automation. These are brittle since one change in the website can disrupt the full workflow. On the other hand, high-level Agents like OpenAI Operator can be unpredictable in production. Stagehand is an open-source framework that bridges the gap between: - brittle traditional automation like Playwright, Selenium, etc. and - unpredictable full-agent solutions like OpenAI Operator. Key features: - Use AI when you want to navigate unfamiliar pages. - Use code (Playwright) when you know exactly what to do. - Preview AI actions before running them. - Cache repeatable actions to save tokens. - Compatible with SOTA computer use models with just one line of code. - Available in both Python and TypeScript SDK. Stagehand also has an open-source MCP server. Find a link to the repo in the comments! 👉 Over to you: Would you use this instead of Selenium?

Weekend project: A reusable deployment pipeline defined in C# that can take any aspire project and deploy it to a VM with ssh and docker. - Use of C# >>>> Shell scripts interleaved in YAML 🤮. - The pipeline code that runs over a model. This same code can work for any aspire app without changes. It's a dynamic pipeline template. - It can run locally or in the CI - This was built on top of upcoming APIs in Aspire 9.4 (you can build your own pipeline and deploy anywhere too!) #dotnet #aspire
