Notable alumni
gollark: Well, it would mostly be a somewhat useless shiny toy™, but you could do cool things like remote into it from two devices at once, hook it up to ingame peripherals via some other interface and control it from the browser, or maybe even connect up HTTP listeners.
gollark: I was looking into having browser-based frontends for remotely hosted "cloud" CC VMs.
gollark: I think PotatOS for x86™ would be more useful. You could always run that in one of the in browser x86 VMs.
gollark: Ah yes, I definitely want to program on emulated computers on my smartphone's 5.5" display?
gollark: Well, it broke eventually, but it *booted* and installed potatOS.
