Abstract
What if your entire computer lived in the browser, and the whole stack was open source?
Puter is an internet OS: a full desktop environment, filesystem, authentication, app hosting, and cloud services, all running in the browser and built in the open. In this talk, Nariman Jelveh, Puter’s founder, walks through how Puter is architected to feel like a native OS while running entirely on the web, and why open source was the only way to build it right.
Attendees will get a technical deep-dive into Puter’s core architecture: how the distributed filesystem works, how apps are sandboxed and hosted, how Puter’s API layer lets developers build on top of it like a platform, and how a small team scaled this to hundreds of thousands of users. Whether you’re building developer tools, exploring alternative computing paradigms, or just curious how a browser-based OS actually works under the hood, this talk is for you.
