Show HN: Waputer – The WebAssembly Computer
Waputer is an operating system that runs entirely in the browser. When you visit the website at <a href="https://waputer.app" rel="nofollow">https://waputer.app</a>, a kernel written in JavaScript sets up a filesystem and launches a WebAssembly program, which in turn talks to the kernel to handle the display and input. A purely terminal-based version is at <a href="https://waputer.dev" rel="nofollow">https://waputer.dev</a>.<p>My original intention was to create programs that run in the browser that have a lot more in common with the desktop. The traditional "hello world" program is not really suited for the web. Waputer changes that. The GitHub repo at <a href="https://github.com/waputer/docs" rel="nofollow">https://github.com/waputer/docs</a> gives a very brief overview of compiling a C program and running it on Waputer. There is a blog available from the main site that has a long-form explanation of Waputer and my motivations if you want some additional reading.
Waputer is a technically impressive demonstration of WebAssembly's potential for browser-based computing, but it currently functions more as a hobbyist project than a scalable business. While the technical execution of a JS kernel for Wasm is solid, the lack of traction, unknown team pedigree, and intense competition from well-funded developer environments like StackBlitz and Replit limit its current investment appeal.
