Greenfield is another town in Massachusetts but it's completely separate from the others, so it doesn't really make sense why that was chosen.
So no, nothing offensive, just confusing.Last edited by schmidtbag; 20 March 2019, 01:06 PM.

Anyway, seems cool. I'm not sure how widely-used this will be, though.

This makes me very optimistic, I hope this takes off. Way back in the late 90s Microsoft knew the web was the future when the embedded Internet Explorer into their window manager, and now Electron is taking the world by storm. Even before Electron, I knew the future of desktop interfaces was going to be the web. Soon enough, I bet we'll all be using our favorite desktop applications in dedicated Firefox tabs, or something or other. Don't get me wrong, I hate ChromeOS and there are way better ways to handle this sort of thing, "forcing" a web experiencing on someone is an awful thing. But it can also be a wonderful thing when the developer only has to worry about writing a simple web interface and supplying both a rich desktop experience and a fully-featured web experienced all in the same package, on the same platform, for any OS, with any resolution. This is something everyone, especially Microsoft (although they are endearingly incompetent at it) wants to achieve.

Phoronix: The Greenfield Wayland Compositor Can Now Run Apps Directly In Your Web Browser
Greenfield is the nearly two year old effort providing an in-browser, HTML5 Wayland compositor. This open-source project has allowed for remote Wayland applications to run in browsers while running from remote hosts. Greenfield though can now run applications directly inside a user's web browser via Web Worker threads...
