I work on Puter (https://github.com/heyPuter/puter/); an open-source, self-hostable internet computer.

People use Puter for an incredibly wide range of things, including cloud storage, web hosting, coding, AI, and gaming. Right now, we're mostly focused on improving performance and making sure that it's as fast as a regular desktop environment!


This looks fun! But the fact that the self hosted version lacks support for some core apps is sad, I'd love to be able to build puter apps! Any plans for an app store-like ecosystem?


Yes! definitely. Please stay tuned :)

Lovely interface. This is quite impressive. I can't seem to get a terminal running though. Can I actually execute scripts here? I opened code and created a hello.py, terminal did not come up in Code either.


Thank you so much! We are working on a Linux emulator that would allow you to run most programs. It's currently a bit behind but coming out soon :)


Shameless plug for my project: https://github.com/HeyPuter/kv.js

Don't kill me :')


That's a great project! I'm definitely going to give it a try.

Integration code is open-source: https://github.com/heyputer/photopea-integration

Special thanks to Ivan Kutskir, founder of Photopea, for helping me with this.


I think the moral of the story is to not use Anthropic, specifically. xAI and OpenAI are working just fine. Anthropic is giving me very strong Google vibes were they will nuke you for no reason and no recourse.


OpenAI has done this too. xAI is a part of X, which bans people without notice as well. All of these companies are greatly understaffed, or rather, moderation can't keep up with demand.


> ...are working just fine.

Every vendor under the sun is working just fine, right up until it isn't. Any business model that is 100% dependent on a vendor - any vendor - has a major risk that needs a backup plan.


Whatever. OpenAI charged me 15 times to refill my account and don’t respond to my chat about it for over two weeks. AX cut them off thinking it was fraud.

And when they did contact me, they completely ignored my comment that my keys had not been leaked, as the usage showed less than $20 of use.

A problem occurred and, as is becoming more normalized, the customer is always at fault.


Hasn't OpenAI broken some of its foundational promises?


hopefully, my mistake will serve as a warning to other developers not to trust these services where things could be taken down arbitrarily! Even though it's happened countless times before.

We're building a "Web OS" designed to be feature-rich, exceptionally fast, and highly extensible! It can be used for anything from a Dropbox alternative to a cloud environment for building websites and apps!

Stack: JavaScrips. No frameworks.

Need help with: Frontend and backend.

I see good stuff yet the scope creep including AI and opening every imaginable file seems to be a slowdown


This is great. I played Solitaire for an hour, maybe two.


Founder of Puter here. Thank you very much for mentioning us!


Can you elaborate a bit on the target market and use cases for Puter as it relates to AI? This is the first I've heard of Puter. Looks super interesting.

this was definitely written by Linus XD
