Bring your desktop into the browser.

Project was never released for public use. Since my startup has pivoted, we are releasing what we were working on before.

Kangaroo desktop

Purpose

We were building a desktop inside the browser to modernize how we use the cloud. We noticed

• Native apps are moving to the web, different apps are building different file management systems
• Files stored on the cloud are just links on the internet
• The need to manage links are increasing
• Cloud storages have high friction

Implemented Features

• Ability to add links to your cloud-synced desktop
• Ability to store files to your cloud-synced desktop
• Drag and drop desktop items
• Folder structure
• Ability to share folders with others

Together with the chrome extension, you could

• Download files from the internet to Kangaroo Desktop
• Upload files to the internet from Kangaroo Desktop
• Default new tab to Kangaroo Desktop
• Store current tab to Kangaroo Desktop with shortcuts
