I've been working since November on an integration between a Quest VR app called Fluid, and MacOS and Windows hosts. The app itself is called Fluid Link, launched just after new years, and has been rolled into official Fluid offerings. It supports full desktop and individual window streaming into the Quest app, shared keyboard and mouse control, and unlike competitor apps also supports multiple hosts and cross platform clipboard sync.

Fluid's website is https://fluid.so and Fluid Link is available for download at https://fluid.so/fluid-link

Fluid is currently free (until tomorrow?) and Fluid Link is free to try up to 15 minutes at a time, with no restrictions on functionality. There's a discord server and in-app support chat for support questions, and videos demonstrating Installation and usage on YouTube.

I've been working on a decentralized group chat called River[1], which will be the first truly decentralized group chat and the flagship application on Freenet[1], a general purpose platform for decentralized apps.

Just 2 or 3 bugs remaining before people can start playing with both River and Freenet which hopefully means we're days away (touch wood).

Pretty fun to see how easy it is to put together a decent website on a shoestring budget (R2 hosting, all react frontend)

Working on Runno ( https://runno.dev/ ) as a side project. It's a tool for running code in the browser for educational use. [Edit]: I wrote a re-introduction to Runno: The WebComponent for Code over the weekend ( https://runno.dev/articles/web-component/ ) I've been playing around with turning it into a sandbox for running code in Python ( https://runno.dev/articles/sandbox-python/ ). This would allow you to safely e…

Awesome! Have you considered pyodide[1]? Pydantic uses this for sandboxing its AI agents [2]. 1. https://pyodide.org/en/stable/ 2. https://ai.pydantic.dev/mcp/run-python/

Thanks! Yeah I'm very aware of Pyodide and interested in adopting some of their techniques.

A big difference between my approach and their approach is that Runno is generic across programming languages. Pyodide only works for Python (and can only work for Python).

Big interesting development in this space is the announcement of Endor at WASM IO which I'd like to try out: https://endor.dev/
