Meet Aether OS, the brainchild putting a full desktop experience inside your browser because regular screens are so 2023. It syncs with Bluesky via the AT Protocol, showcasing 42 apps from text editing to an ambitious chiptune tracker, plus a DAW and a video editor that probably crashes more than your hopes at a Monday meeting.
