Now I can fight with the awful UX of managing windows within the window, too.

#12Where's the code? Is Sava OS free software / open source? Your site implies that it is, but I did not see any link to a public repo..
I didn't see anything on the landing page that implied free software / open source.

#13But I already have a desktop interface... my browser is running in it.

Not the original commenter, but "Own back your data & software" to me reads as if self-hosting is supported, at minimum. There doesn't seem to be an option to download the server software, however.

#15If you asked me to login with Google and got my email and other info, then don't ask me to also pick a password. Bait & switch and I won't stand for it.

#16it would be cool. to sava be able open two cloud disk providers side by side and copy files from one to other.
Tangential, but rclone[1] supports this kind of workflow with the `copy` subcommand, if you don't mind spending both download and upload bandwidth at once.

It just needs an "app" to run a JS-based X86 Emulator for the infinity mirror effect.

#19Wow, difficult crowd.
It reminds me of the initial Dropbox launch. Their pitch was a USB drive for the Internet, which was torn to pieces by this crowd. Then, Dropbox built a video showing how it worked, and their product went viral.
Folks here, myself included, struggle to understand why we need a desktop in our browser. Your animated gifs don't show enough for someone outside of your product to 'get it'. Record a video and walk us through your killer use case, I think it's there, but I don't quite see it yet.
