Welcome after a long break, the us community!

Recently I've heared a lot about in-browser operating systems like eyeOS and all the stuff. Since CSS3 and HTML5 gives powerful tools to make one, I've decided to try myself with my own Web 2.0 OS.

The name I've chosen is MintOS (yep, it's open source: http://mintos.googlecode.com)

As soon as I'll have something working, I'm going to launch a closed alpha testing with some people of you (PM me describing why'd I chose you). After such testing and some more progress public beta will be annouced (open for everyone).


I'm not sure how much people out of here would like to try it out. Since my free webhost has 10 000 MB capacity and 100 000 MB of monthly transfer, I think I could give you ~500 MBs of cloud storage to use with MintOS for free.

If you'd like to support me with hosting, coding, design, etc. feel free to reply/PM. I'll gladly use it and notice you when doing tests, listening to feedbacks and so on. A thankyou inside the OS for you possible

Hey, @user oxytamine:, didn't you realise that it isn't based on Linux at all?

It's *just* using the _browser_ like FiReFoX. You open website, login, turn the browser fullscreen and you got the OS.

It gonna suck if it's on free host. I'll refresh one page like 1.000 times, and hosting will suspend your web server.

I did something like that on user KimKat webchat and his webserver got suspended. You can ask him if you don't believe.

@user mafia_man: I realise that free hosting is going to suck if it gets more than let's say 5 users at once, but I don't have enough budget to keep a paid server for those 5 users. Notice it is a research project. When I'll move forward, and get some support, maybe it's gonna be a bigger service. Now it's just for research.
