Do not use HTTP as part of the design. Avoid network based communication and learn from many GUIs like whats happened with xorg to wayland. Do not go the server sort of route get out of that mindset and use lower level APIs. Don't think Web think of lower abstraction layers,, scaling, performance, and efficiency, Would be happy to work with you on it.

HTTP is the way to go to get the resources, anything else works on local on the web browser.

I'm disappointed that the nodejs' community defaults to html+js+css when it comes to write a UI/Frontend. You can't even use node's JS runtime directly for the js part as that will opens up security issues. Use NodeGui, there's already a bunch of magic and amazing witchcraft in NPM that it makes you stupid to be opinionated not to mention the opinion is html.

anyway if we use HTML+CSS+JS for Node OS, it can be server-side GUI operating system (also using web-based GUI is more good as the host running NodeOS didn't take too much resource.

What you are describing is Web Panel. This issue is talking about Windowing/GUI Kit

Hi all!

I love programming in Javascript, I would be happy if there was some way to create my programs with a graphical interface with html/js/css within an operating system in Javascript. There are some rendering engines, I don't know the node-os operating system in depth, but there are some interesting solutions like the rendering engine: repaint or litehtml.
