I spent the last two weekends hacking together BiamOS (https://github.com/BiamOS/BiamOS) because I’m tired of how static our workspace still is.
I'm an automation engineer, and I wanted to see if I could move from the "fragmented web" to a Single View Era. Instead of just jumping between isolated SaaS silos, BiamOS uses a built-in Chromium webview with persistent sessions (Ghost-Auth) so the local LLM can interact directly with the DOM.
The goal isn't just another browser; it’s a desktop layer where the AI "reads" your active context (Gmail, Notion, Slack) and generates a unified UI based on what you’re actually doing. It’s about making the apps disappear into a single, agentic dashboard.
Stack: Electron 34, React 19, Hono, SQLite.
It’s early alpha, but I’m curious: Do you think the future of OS design lies in "Generative UI" replacing traditional window management?
