On one side Im amazed by the amount of good work you have done, but on the other, I feel it lacks true useful scenarios.
For instance, I would love to install it in my server to handle my own server files, but it doesnt support mounting a folder to access from the OS.
Or I would love to have an SSH client, or a terminal that is executed in the server, to run my own nodejs apps.
Also some form of login/pass would be helpfull in case somebody got access to the URL.
But none of them are available.
I understand than the goal was to see whats possible in a browser, but to make it more appealing to people I would love to see some real usecases covered.
Cheers
It does indeed have a long way to go if I want to add usefulness beyond my personal website use case.
It is possible to "map" a local drive in several ways, such as via the desktop right click menu's "Map directory", and also if you built it locally you could put a folder in "public" which would then be mapped.
But it isn't the same as what you are describing and that would likely require a server component so I could bypass the limits of the browser.
I hope to eventually have an answer for all the use cases you mention, but because this is just a side project and my main goal is a client-side personal website, I don't expect those features in the 2020's, maybe the 2030's. :-)
