This was really fun. For me personally there is no utility albeit I do develop a similar concept outside the browser (and the internet).

I'd see value on AuroraOS when paired with an API service running on the local device, to permit actions on the user disk. For example to work with the files, hear music and do all kind of things.

Thank you very much! The project purpose for now is to simulate a native OS experience, as the foundation for its future. The aim is to create a hacking simulation game that will include virtual computers pentesting and, later, multiplayer PVP.
