What if you took the core abstractions of Plan 9 from Bell Labs and put them in a WebAssembly module?

Two indie devs made a game where you run your own video store in the early 90s. It’s currently the #5 top-selling game on Steam.
- Rent out VHS tapes & manage customers
- Charge Late & Broken Fees
- Upgrade & customise your store
It’s called Retro Rewind - Video Store Simulator

i am happily more capable and productive than i have ever been without using any of these. sometimes i use CLAUDE.md but honestly usually not
John Crickett@johncrickett
I spent the weekend actually reading the Claude Code docs. It's a rabbit hole. CLAUDE.md files. MCP configs. Skills. Subagents. Hooks. Plugins. Agent Teams. You could spend more time configuring Claude Code than building software. All of it is productivity theatre. The only thing that actually matters: think first, then give it focused, relevant context.

anyway its also a good static site platform. point me to another that makes your site work offline by default
Jeff Lindsay@progrium
Apptron is now the quickest way I know to make static websites. It's also the only static site host that makes your site work offline by default. Check out the demo: youtube.com/watch?v=9PTRll…

You can use almost any static site generator in the browser on Apptron, including this one I made. Was it built for Wasm? Nope... Linux.
Part 2 is online:

im trying my hardest to not directly say it out loud to see when people start to see it themselves.. but apptron will be the ultimate agent harness without even trying
Chase Davis@Chase_Davis_
This feels like an agent power tool box + oss. Nice one Jeff!

@msimoni at high level a filesystem is just a named stream multiplexer. 9p and quic are actually very similar
English
Idea: 9P but you use QUIC semantics (multiple independent request/response streams instead of just reads and writes) over each connection to a file.
English
@msimoni apptron/wanix probably does this somewhere. duplex is just quic semantics with optional rpc on top and its used all over

because its real aim is to be the ultimate "human harness" ... that is what a compute/software environment is. how many times do we have to say: making things good for AI keeps turning out to be making things good for humans, so why should the aim be anything else

@ibuildthecloud the ones i was trying way back would often say in their huggingface. or rather, those are the ones id use
English
Open source coding models need to clearly document what tool signatures they've been trained on. The info is out there but you kind of have to reverse engineer it.

what people said they wanted to do with Wanix most is embed a Linux program on the web. usually to let people try the program without downloading and installing.
well here it is. author and embed a Linux system on a page in seconds with Apptron...
Jeff Lindsay@progrium
This is a big one. Apptron also lets you embed Linux software on **any web page**. Great for software playgrounds, demos, etc. No separate Wasm toolchain like emscripten necessary! Check out part 3: youtube.com/watch?v=aGOHvW…

@ibuildthecloud this is what i mean by people not putting it together. the whole thing, everything is so modular and layered. lots of ways to arrange. but i went out of my way to do this first. in part so as the rest comes online it works in the browser and people can instantly play with it
English
its a self contained, self modifiable linux development environment that you can serve over CDN for pennies
Jeff Lindsay@progrium
Apptron can of course be used for instant dev environments. Unlike Codespaces/CodeSandbox/Replit it's entirely open source and runs entirely in-browser. No cloud compute necessary, making it cost almost nothing to run! Check out the final demo: youtube.com/watch?v=CRAQz2…

@navanchauhan next release of wanix will get a lot of apptron stuff backported. always around to help with anything if you do
English
Apptron 0.7 just released with tons of new features and fixes. Most notably, console mode for embeds and public sites that work offline. Some quick demo videos incoming...
