I'm loving this trend to do more things with filesystems.

There was https://amoffat.github.io/supertag/ [,] which I'm intending to use in my filesharing sftp server, and now this, which seems like something that exposes functionality from a web browser that I would love.



KIO and GVfs wave hopeless to the crowd too busy replicating a UNIX V6 experience with a bit of Plan 9/Solaris influence.


Ironically this is reimplementing plan9/9fs and everything is a filesystem. If any, this is Unix++.

Also, say hello to FUSE, which tries to mimic that on the userland.


Same here. I quite like some of the filesystem interfaces Linux provides (cgroups for example)
