Very cool. What's the working title for this interface / experience?
LocalStorage API.

#62Earlier quoted context omitted.
Why would you keep minimizing things instead of closing them? The video just looks like one of those meant to frustrate the viewer into wanting to do it themselves. I blame the creator of that video as much as the site itself. The site itself served a purpose. The person running that video has a much less clear motive
I think if you close a window, another pops up. Or two. You should go to this site and test this.
It spawned an app outside of the browser. That's the window being minimized that I meant. I'm not an unawares person to the site's purpose. You're being a bit disingenuous with your reading of my comment

#63W-why is window LOCATION exposed to websites? Apparently even in FF private browsing... At first I thought this is an electron only thing. I get it that we gave up on fingerprinting resistance but this is like pissing on it's grave. EDIT: privacy.resistFingerprinting set to true fixes the coords to 0
On Wayland, a native window can't even get that information. At least not in a way that works across composiotors.

#68Could someone explain what this means ? ( I’m not even sure I understand the gif on the GitHub page ) I just see windows seemingly sharing data.
I think it's some kind of multiple client, single server setup. The windows are the individual clients, which pass screen geometry info to the server. The server then serves content to clients with different layout that makes content appear as a single object across multiple windows.

#69Does this work on Wayland?
Tested on Sway with both Firefox and Chromium. Resizing works (no surprise) but the position doesn't work. window.screenX/Y always return 0.
