The original title is "Solips: A browser-only web OS with an AI-controlled virtual cursor"
Original: Created a web OS that runs 100% in the browser with an AI kernel, no backend, zero install
Short summary
A developer showcases Solips, a web-based OS that runs entirely in the browser with no backend or install, featuring an AI kernel that controls a virtual cursor via tool-calling. It supports multiple LLM providers (Ollama, OpenAI, Anthropic, Gemini, Grok) and uses IndexedDB for persistence and BroadcastChannel for cross-tab LLM sharing. The post is a brief project announcement with a GitHub link, inviting community feedback.
