Acknowledgements
- v86 which is the emulator for running x86 operating systems in the browser, without it none of the following projects would be possible
- crunchydata playground for leading the way and showing the world that it was possible to run PostgreSQL in the browser
- browser-shell which was already way ahead of its time, especially on the filesystem part
- browser-linux for showing us how we can make the pieces fit together
- Websockets Proxy the ingenious workaround that opened up the world for v86 emulators everywhere
